If a total force exerted by water in a container with a bottom area of 2 square meters is 450 newtons, what's the water pressure at the bottom of the container? a. 0.900 kpa b. 0.575 kpa c. 0.300 kpa d. 0.225 kpa

The Correct answer to this question for Penn Foster Students is: 0.225 kPa

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Pressure in defined as force applied per unit area.

Where :

F = Force applied

A = area on which force is applied

We have force applied by the water on bottom of container = F = 450 N

Area of the bottom of the container = A =

Pressure on the bottom of the container:

(1 pa = 0.001 kPa)

0.225 kPa is the water pressure at the bottom of the container.
