  1. Question 1

    Q1. A tank is filled with water to a height of 1.5 m. What is the pressure at the bottom of the tank?

    • A) 1.47 x 10^4 Pa
    • B) 1.50 x 10^4 Pa
    • C) 1.47 x 10^5 Pa
    • D) 1.50 x 10^5 Pa

    Answer: 1.47 x 10^5 Pa

    Explanation: Pressure = ρgh = 1000 kg/m³ * 9.8 m/s² * 1.5 m = 1.47 x 10^4 Pa; correct unit is Pa, not kPa.
