Detailed Solution

The force exerted on the spring, via the piston by water = (pressure at centroid of the piston) x (area of the piston)= (ρgh2)(ah)F = 1×1000×2022× 10 = 2× 105 dyneNow, if x cm be the compression of the springThen for equilibrium F = Kx.2×106 = 1500×103dynecm×x cmx = 2015 = 1.3 cm.
