Find the pressure exerted by the liquid on the base if a flask is filled to a depth of 16 cm with a liquid of density 800 kg/m³.

To find the pressure exerted by the liquid on the base of the flask, we can use the formula for pressure:

Pressure = density x gravity x height

Given:
Density of liquid (ρ) = 800 kg/m³
Height of liquid (h) = 16 cm = 0.16 m
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.81 m/s²

Plugging in the values:

Pressure = 800 kg/m³ x 9.81 m/s² x 0.16 m
Pressure = 12512.8 Pa

Therefore, the pressure exerted by the liquid on the base of the flask is 12512.8 Pa.

Given:
Depth of the liquid, h = 16 cm = 0.16 m
Density of the liquid, ρ = 800 kg/m³
Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Formula for pressure:
P = ρgh

Substituting the given values into the formula:
P = (800 kg/m³)(9.8 m/s²)(0.16 m)
P = 1254.4 Pa

Therefore, the pressure exerted by the liquid on the base of the flask is 1254.4 Pa.
