Flag question
Consider the pressure and force acting on the
dam retaining a reservoir of water. Suppose the
dam is 500-m wide
and the water is 80.0-m
deep at the dam, as illustrated below. What is
the average pressure on the dam due to the
water?​

Sagot :

Answer:

P = density (p) * g * h

P = 1000  kg/m^3 * 9.8 m/s^2 * 40 m = 392,000 N/m^2

since kg m / s^2 = Newtons

The average pressure is 1/2 (pressure at 0m +  pressure 80 m) for liquid of uniform density
