Question

A water tower has a pressure of 411340 Pa at the bottom. The density of water is 1000 kg/m^3. Find the depth of the water in m.

Answer 1

Answer:

Depth, h = 41.97 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

Pressure of a water tower, P = 411340 Pa

The density of water, $d=1000\ kg/m^3$

We need to find the depth of the water. Pressure at a certain depth h is given by :

$P=dgh$

$h=\dfrac{P}{dg}$

$h=\dfrac{411340\ Pa}{1000\ kg/m^3\times 9.8\ m/s^2}$

h = 41.97 m

So, the depth of the water is 41.97 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
