Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
P = Pa + Ïgh = (1.00 × 10\(^5\)) + (950 × 10 × 1000)
P = 10\(^5\) + (95 × 10\(^5\)) = 10\(^5\)(1 + 95) = 96 × 10\(^5\)
P = 9.6 × 10\(^6\) N/m\(^2\)
P = Pa + Ïgh = (1.00 × 10\(^5\)) + (950 × 10 × 1000)
P = 10\(^5\) + (95 × 10\(^5\)) = 10\(^5\)(1 + 95) = 96 × 10\(^5\)
P = 9.6 × 10\(^6\) N/m\(^2\)
