Please help!
A tank with a flat bottom is filled with water to a height of 4 meters. What is the pressure at any point at the bottom of the tank? (You can ignore atmospheric pressure when calculating your answer.)
A. 9.8 kPa
B. 4.0 kPa
C. 39.2 kPa
D. 18.9 kpa

Pressure = density*gravity*height
OpenStudy (andromeda992):
Okay but how do I find the density or gravity
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
You should know the value of gravity. And density. They are given values; not something you find.
OpenStudy (andromeda992):
gravity is 1.0 right?
OpenStudy (andromeda992):
Idk how to solve it

1.0 what? You need units.
What is the density of water?
What is the value of acceleration due to gravity?
OpenStudy (andromeda992):
the gravity is a constant 9.8 m/s
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
Not quite: 9.8 m/s^2
OpenStudy (andromeda992):
9.8*4=39.2
OpenStudy (andromeda992):
So it's C?

You never stated what density of water you're using, with units, so idk.
