Ajug of water containing 5.00 kg of water is sitting on a table at sea level. the bottom of the jug has a radius of 10.0 cm. what is the pressure on the bottom of the jug?
49.0 n/cm2
6.41 n/cm2
0.156 n/cm2
15400 n/cm2

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. The pressure on the bottom of the jug is 0.156 N/cm^2. Pressure is calculated by the ratio of the force applied and the cross sectional area of the object. We calculate as follows:

P = force / area
P = 5x9.81 / (pi)x10^2
P = 0.156 N/cm^2
