Water is poured into a vessel 15 cm high to the brim. Determine the amount of water pressure at the bottom of the vessel.

Initial data: H (height of the vessel (height of water in the vessel)) = 15 cm = 0.15 m.

Reference data: g (acceleration due to gravity) = 10 m / s2; ρ (density of fresh water) = 1000 kg / m3.

The value of water pressure (hydrostatic pressure) at the bottom of the vessel can be determined by the formula: P = ρ * g * H.

Let’s calculate the pressure: P = 1000 * 10 * 0.15 = 1500 Pa or 1.5 kPa.

Answer: The water pressure at the bottom to the edges of the filled vessel is 1.5 kPa.
