A rectangular container has a base of dimensions 0.15 m×0.20 m0.15\text{ m} \times 0.20\text{ m}0.15 m×0.20 m. The container is filled with a liquid. The mass of the liquid in the container is 6.0 kg6.0\text{ kg}6.0 kg. Take g=10 N/kgg = 10\text{ N/kg}g=10 N/kg.
Calculate: (i) the weight of liquid in the container,
(ii) the pressure due to the liquid on the base of the container.
Explain why the total pressure on the base of the container is greater than the value calculated in (a)(ii).
The depth of liquid in the container is 0.25 m0.25\text{ m}0.25 m. Calculate the density of the liquid.
