Answer
Step-by-step solution
3 stepsIdentify the given values and the formula for hydrostatic pressure.
The problem provides the following information:
- Density of the liquid, (assuming "kgm-1" is a typo and should be for density).
- Pressure, (assuming "9100nm" is a typo and should be or Pascals for pressure).
- Acceleration due to gravity, .
The formula for hydrostatic pressure is:
where is the pressure, is the density of the liquid, is the acceleration due to gravity, and is the depth.
Rearrange the formula to solve for depth ().
To find the depth, we rearrange the formula:
Substitute the values and calculate the depth.
Substitute the given values into the rearranged formula:
Since , then .
So the units cancel out to meters:The depth at which the pressure in the liquid will be is .
