A cylinder filled with water to half a metre will exert a pressure of
- 49.0 Pa.
- 4900 Pa.
- 9800 Pa.
Explanation from PART66Online
Pressure due to a liquid column is rho x g x h. For water this is 1000 kg/m3 x 9.8 m/s2 x 0.5 m = 4900 Pa. Using the full one-metre height would give 9800 Pa, but only half a metre of head acts here.

Pressure = density * gravity * height = 1000 (for water) * 10 * 0.5 = 5000 Pa. Answer is 4900 Pa because gravity is slightly less than 10 (9.81 to be exact)

Hi dimky, wasn’t a PRESSURE = force / area? There is another question wich ask the uniti of measure of the pressure, and the correct answer is N/m*2. Thanks

the answer to your question is from formula:p=ρgh p is pressure and ρ is density.So we know for standard that ρ of water is 1000kg/m^3 g=10 or 9.81 and h=0.5 so the answer is 4900Pa
