A boy weighing 60 kgf is wearing shoes with heel or area or section 20 cm2, while a girl weighing kgf wearing sandals with heel of area or cross section 1.5 cm2. Compare the pressure exerted on ground by their heels when they stand on heel or one foot.
Calculate the pressure due to a water column of height 100 m. (Take g = 10 m s-1 and density of water = 103 kg m-3).
Given, h = 100 m, ρ = 103 kg m-3, g = 10 m s-2
Pressure = hρg
= 100 x 103 x 10 = 106 N m-2
At what depth below the surface of water will pressure be equal to twice the atmospheric pressure is 10 N cm-2, density of water is 103 kg m-3 and g = 9.8 m s-2.
A cube of each side 5 cm is placed inside a liquid. The pressure at the center of one face of cube is 10 Pa. Calculate the thrust exerted by the liquid on this face.
A square plate of side 10 m is placed horizontally 1 m below the surface of water. The atmospheric pressure is 1.013 x 105 N m-2. Calculate the total thrust on the plate.
(Density of water p = 103 kg m-3, g = 9.8 m s-2)
