The pressure at the bottom of a 3-foot-deep lake several miles in diameter is P1. The pressure at the bottom of a 3-foot-deep hot tub 2 meters in diameter is P2. What relationship would P1 and P2 have?

Respuesta :

Answer:

P1=P2

Explanation:

For a uniform density fluids, the pascal law say that :

[tex]P=P_0 +\rho gh[/tex]

Where P is the pressure inside the fluid, [tex]P_0[/tex] is the pressure over the fluid surface, [tex]\rho[/tex] is the fluid density and h is the deep.

For both cases the fluid is water, therefore the density[tex]\rho[/tex] is the same for both cases.

The same analysis apply for the deep h.

The equation for the lake:

[tex]P_1=P_0 + \rho gh[/tex]

For the tub

[tex]P_2=P_0 + \rho gh[/tex]

The pressure over the surface is the same for both cases, so is possible clearing Po and  match the equations

[tex]\rho gh-P_1=\rho gh+P_2  \\P_1=P_2 \\\\P_1 / P_2=1[/tex]
