A water tank is filled with water. What will be the pressure of the water when the level of the water is 6m?

The pressure of the water is 58.8 Kpa

Explanation:

We know that:

Level of water = Height, h = 6 m

Acceleration due to Gravity, g = 9.8 ms⁻¹

Density of Water, ρ = 1000 Kgm⁻³

Pressure of fluid = ρ*g*h ... (1)

Substitute the above known parameters in the equation

Pressure of fluid = 1000 x 9.8 x 6 (Kgm⁻³ x ms⁻¹ x m)

Pressure of fluid = 1000 x 9.8 x 6 (Kgm⁻³ x ms⁻¹ x m)

Pressure of fluid = 58,800 Kg/s/m² or 58,800 Pa or 58.8 Kpa

Head pressure from hundreds of feet of depth behind a dam drives the mighty generators below. Divide the depth in inches by 27.71-inches/psi, or the depth in feet by 2.31-feet/psi which are the English unit conversion factors. The result is the water head pressure expressed in psi.
