Calculate the specific weight of water

Click For Summary
To calculate the specific weight of water at a pressure of 100 kN/m² and a temperature of 10°C, the density must be determined, typically from tables or experimental measurements. The formula p = γh is mentioned, but height is not applicable in this scenario. The specific weight can be derived from the relationship between density and gravitational acceleration. Accurate values for density at the given conditions are essential for the calculation. Understanding these principles is crucial for solving similar problems in fluid mechanics.
