SUMMARY
The specific weight of water at a pressure of 100 kN/m² and a temperature of 10˚C can be calculated using the formula γ = p/g, where γ is the specific weight, p is the pressure, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. In this case, the density of water must be referenced from standard tables or measured experimentally, as no height is provided for calculation. The discussion emphasizes the importance of using accurate density values for precise calculations.
