A 0.60- m -tall barrel is filled with water (with a weight density of 9800 N/m3 ). Find the water pressure on the bottom of the barrel. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Respuesta :

Answer:

P =  ρ g H       explains the pressure of a uniform column of density ρ

P = ρ H            where ρ is given as a weight density

P = 9800 N/m^3 * .60 m = 5880 (5900) N / m^2

Note N/m^2 = Force / Area      the definition of pressure
