Question

question 1 1 pts dam pressure: calculate the hydrostatic pressure at a point 30 meters below the surface of a reservoir. (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}$, $g = 9.8\ m/s^{2}$, $h = 30\ m$. So $p=1000\times9.8\times30$.

Step3: Calculate the result

$p = 294000\ Pa$

Answer:

$294000$
