A reservoir is filled with liquid of density 2000 kgm\(^{-1}\). Calculate the depth at which the pressure in the liquid will be equal to 9100 Nm\(^{-2}\) (g = 10 ms\(^{-2}\))

  • A. 0.262 m
  • B. 0.664 m
  • C. 0.819 m
  • D. 0.455 m

Correct Answer: D. 0.455 m

Explanation

pressure = p, depth = d, height = h, gravity = g

p = hdg

\(\frac{p}{hg} = d\)

\(\frac{9100}{10 * 2000} = d\)

0.455m
