Answer:
Force, [tex]F=2\times 10^5\ N[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
The water in the plumbing in a house is at a gauge pressure of 250,000 Pa.
We need to find the force caused on the top of the tank inside a water heater if the area of the top is [tex]0.8\ m^2[/tex]. Let F is the force. We know that the force acting per unit area is called pressure exerted. It is given by :
[tex]P=\dfrac{F}{A}[/tex]
[tex]F=P\times A\\\\F=250000\ Pa\times 0.8\ m^2\\\\F=2\times 10^5\ N[/tex]
So, the force caused on the top of the tank inside a water heater is [tex]2\times 10^5\ N[/tex]. Hence, this is the required solution.
