Determine the pressure at a depth of 0.6 meters in water, kerosene, mercury.
| September 3, 2021 | education
The pressure at depth h is determined by the formula:
P = ρ * g * h, where ρ is the density of the liquid, g is the acceleration of gravity, P is the pressure.
Then for water we get:
P = 1000 * 10 * 0.6 = 6000 Pa,
for kerosene we get:
P = 800 * 10 * 0.6 = 4800 Pa,
for mercury:
P = 13500 * 10 * 0.6 = 81000 Pa.
One of the components of a person's success in our time is receiving modern high-quality education, mastering the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for life in society. A person today needs to study almost all his life, mastering everything new and new, acquiring the necessary professional qualities.
