Answer:
P=98000 Pa
Explanation:
Pressure Exerted by a Column of Liquid
The pressure P exerted by a column of liquid of height h and density [tex]\rho[/tex] is given by the hydrostatic pressure equation:
P = [tex]\rho .g.h[/tex]
Where [tex]\rho[/tex] is the density of the liquid, g is the acceleration of gravity [tex]g=9.8m/s^2[/tex], and h is the height of the column of liquid.
The density of water can be taken as
[tex]\rho[/tex]=1000 [tex]Kg/m^3[/tex]
The well has a depth of water of h=10 m, thus the pressure at the bottom is:
[tex]P=1000\ Kg/m^3\cdot 9.8\ m/s^2\cdot 10\ m[/tex]
P=98000 Pa
