The pressure exerted by the liquid column of depth 0.5 m on the base of its container is 5000 N/m². Find the density of the liquid.
Added by Marina C.
Step 1
We know that pressure is given by the formula: $P = \rho g h$, where $P$ is the pressure, $\rho$ is the density of the liquid, $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity, and $h$ is the depth of the liquid column. Show more…
