Answer:
[tex]P=7,840\ Pa[/tex]
Explanation:
Pressure Exerted by a Column of Liquid
The pressure P exerted by a column of liquid of height h and density ρ is given by the hydrostatic pressure equation:
P = ρgh
Where ρ is the density of the liquid, g is the acceleration of gravity g=9.8m/s^2, and h is the height of the column of liquid.
The data provided is as follows:
[tex]\rho=1000\ Kg/m^3[/tex]
[tex]g=9.8m/s^2[/tex]
[tex]h=80\ cm = 0.8\ m[/tex]
The pressure is:
[tex]P = 1000\ Kg/m^3\cdot 9.8\ m/s^2 \cdot 0.8\ m[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{P=7,840\ Pa}[/tex]
