You find a pressure gauge in the lab and the spec sheet says that the maximum pressure it can read a maximum of 2 inches of water. What is the maximum pressure in pascals?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Maximum pressure in pascal is 497.84 pa

Explanation:

Pressure is given by [tex]P=\rho g h[/tex]

where [tex]\rho[/tex] is density of water = 1000[tex]kg/m^3[/tex]

height of the water [tex]h[/tex] is 2 inches = [tex]2\times 25.4=50.8 mm=50.8\times 10^{-3} m[/tex]

Maximum pressure in pascal is

[tex]P=1000\times 9.8\times 50.8\times 10^{-3}\\p=497.84 Pa[/tex]
