Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A dam holds water at a height of 20 m. Calculate the pressure at the base of the dam. Use ρ (density of water) = 1000 kg/m³ and g = 9.81 m/s².
💡 Hint: Apply the hydrostatic pressure formula.
Suppose you know the pressure at a depth of 10m in a tank of oil. How would you use Taylor series to estimate pressure at a depth of 12m?
💡 Hint: Remember to focus on first-order terms!
