Concept explainers
To Calculate: The pressure on the given object.
Answer to Problem 66GP
The pressure is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Depth,
Density of the ice,
Formula used:
The weight force is,
Here,
The force is calculated as,
Here,
Calculation:
Firstly, calculate the area in terms of volume and height such that,
The weight force of the ice is balanced by the force exerted on it. So, the force exerted on the ice is,
The pressure in terms of force and area is given as,
The mass of the ice in terms of density and its volume is,
Now substitute all the values in this formula, and then the result will be,
Substitute the
Substitute the
Substitute the values.
Conclusion:
The pressure is
