Example : 12What will be the pressure in N/m
2 at a depth of 1.5 m in brine of density 120 kg/cm
3 ?
Solution. P = hdg
= 15 × 120 × 10 = 1800 N/m
2 Example : 13Calculate the density of a liquid if the pressure at a point 30 m below its surface is 32 × 10
4 N/m
2.
Solution. P = hdg
= 1066.6 kg/m
3 Example : 14A force of 150 N is applied on an area of 1.5 m
2. Calculate the pressure exerted.
Solution. Force, F = 150 N; area, A = 1.5 m
2Now, Pressure = Force / Area
Pressure,
Example : 15A force of 500 dynes is applied on an area of 20 cm
2. Calculate the pressure exerted.
Solution. Force, F = 500 dynes = 500 × 10
–5 newton
Area, A = 20 cm
2 = 20 × 10
–4 m
2Pressure,
