.A water tank has dimensions of 6m x 4m x 4m. Find the pressure exerted by
water at the base of dam when it is half
filled. ( Density of water - 1000 kg/ m2,
acceleration
due to to gravity is 9.8m/s2

9800Nm⁻²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Dimensions of the water tank = 6m x 4m x 4m

Density of water  = 1000kgm⁻³

Gravity  = 9.8m/s²  

Unknown:

Pressure exerted by the water at the base of the dam  = ?

Solution:

The pressure exerted by the water is given as:

  Pressure  = density of water x acceleration due to gravity x height of water

The height of the water here is half = 1m

Pressure  = 1000 x 9.8 x 1 = 9800Nm⁻²

answer; (arch); good luck
