Water is poured into an aquarium 32 cm high, the level of which is 2 cm below the edge. Calculate the pressure on the bottom.

1. Let’s translate the given value into the SI system:
l = 32 cm = 0.32 m
k = 2 cm = 0.02 m

2. Hydrostatic pressure at depth according to Pascal’s law:
P = ρ * g * h, where ρ is the density of water ρ = 1000 kg / m3, g is the acceleration of gravity g = 9.8 m / s2, h is the depth.

3. Determine the depth:
h = l-k = 0.32-0.02 = 0.3 m

4. At the level of the bottom pressure:
P = ρ * g * h = 1000 * 9.8 * 0.3 = 2940 Pa

Answer: bottom pressure P = 2940 Pa or P = 2.9 kPa.
