Correct question is;
2, A rectangular Container of base 50 cm by 30cm is filled with water to be depth of 5cm. how much is the pressure exerted at the base? (take pw= 1000kg /m3 and g=10m/s)
Answer:
P = 500 N/m²
Explanation:
Pressure exerted at the base is the hydrostatic pressure and it is given by the formula;
P = ρgh
Where;
ρ is density = 1000 kg/m³
g = 10 m/s²
h is depth = 5 cm = 0.05 m
Thus;
P = 1000 × 10 × 0.05
P = 500 N/m²
