The surface of water in a water tank on the top of a house is 4 m above the tap level. Find the pressure of water at the tap when the tap is closed, is it necessary to specify that the tap is closed? Take g = 10 m s-2.

The height of the water level,

Density of water,


Therefore, Pressure, (ANS)


Yes, it necessary to state that the tap is closed for when its open, the level of water will decrease and hence the pressure will decrease.
