Detailed Solution

Concept- Pressure and thrust respectively are 9800n N and 29400 N/meter sq. The force applied to a surface by a mass of water per unit area of surface is known as the water pressure at the bottom of a tank. The force that water applies downward and perpendicularly to the surface is known as the push.
Liquid pressure, indicated by the letter "h," is dependent on the height of the water column (depth) .
Density of liquid

Acceleration due to gravity

which equals to

Thus, by using pressure formula

We shall first determine the surface's area in order to determine the thrust operating on it.
Area = length

width
Area

Area

Now we know that
Pressure

Thrust ( Force

Pressure

Area
Now The result of substituting the pressure and area values from above is
Thrust

Thrust

So, the Pressure at the bottom of the tank is
