Pressure exerted by static liquid on vertical submerged

Reference no: EM13542411

The pressure exerted by a static liquid on a vertical submerged surface is calculated from the reaction:

P=pgh
where:
P=Pressure
p=Density of the liquid
g=gravitational acceleration = 9.81 m/s^2
h=height of vertical surface that is submerged.

Consider a dam, what would be thepressure exerted on the dam's surface at depths of 1m, 5m, and 25m? for the density of the water, use p = 1000kg/m^3.
