0.455 m\text{0.455 m}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Identify the given values and the formula for hydrostatic pressure.

    The problem provides the following information:

    • Density of the liquid, ρ=2000 kgm−3\rho = 2000 \text{ kgm}^{-3} (assuming "kgm-1" is a typo and should be kgm−3\text{kgm}^{-3} for density).
    • Pressure, P=9100 Nm−2P = 9100 \text{ Nm}^{-2} (assuming "9100nm" is a typo and should be Nm−2\text{Nm}^{-2} or Pascals for pressure).
    • Acceleration due to gravity, g=10 ms−2g = 10 \text{ ms}^{-2}.

    The formula for hydrostatic pressure is:

    P=ρghP = \rho g h

    where PP is the pressure, ρ\rho is the density of the liquid, gg is the acceleration due to gravity, and hh is the depth.

  2. Rearrange the formula to solve for depth (hh).

    To find the depth, we rearrange the formula:

    h=Pρgh = \frac{P}{\rho g}
  3. Substitute the values and calculate the depth.

    Substitute the given values into the rearranged formula:

    h=9100 Nm−2(2000 kgm−3)(10 ms−2)h = \frac{9100 \text{ Nm}^{-2}}{(2000 \text{ kgm}^{-3})(10 \text{ ms}^{-2})} h=9100 Nm−220000 kgm−2s−2h = \frac{9100 \text{ Nm}^{-2}}{20000 \text{ kgm}^{-2}\text{s}^{-2}}

    Since 1 N=1 kg⋅m⋅s−21 \text{ N} = 1 \text{ kg} \cdot \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-2}, then 1 Nm−2=1 kg⋅m⋅s−2⋅m−2=1 kg⋅m−1⋅s−21 \text{ Nm}^{-2} = 1 \text{ kg} \cdot \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-2} \cdot \text{m}^{-2} = 1 \text{ kg} \cdot \text{m}^{-1} \cdot \text{s}^{-2}.
    So the units cancel out to meters:

    h=910020000 mh = \frac{9100}{20000} \text{ m} h=0.455 mh = 0.455 \text{ m}

    The depth at which the pressure in the liquid will be 9100 Nm−29100 \text{ Nm}^{-2} is 0.455 m\boxed{\text{0.455 m}}.
