Question

in a 1.5 - meter deep fish tank, what is the hydrostatic pressure at the bottom? (water density = 1000 kg/m³)
p = pa

Explanation:

Step1: Recall hydrostatic pressure formula

$P =
ho gh$ where $
ho$ is density, $g$ is acceleration due to gravity ($g = 9.8\ m/s^{2}$), and $h$ is depth.

Step2: Substitute given values

$
ho=1000\ kg/m^{3}$, $g = 9.8\ m/s^{2}$, $h = 1.5\ m$. So $P=1000\times9.8\times1.5$.

Step3: Calculate the result

$P = 14700\ Pa$

Answer:

$14700$
