A jug of water containing 5.00 kg of water is sitting on a table at sea level. The bottom of the jug has a radius of 10.0 cm. What is the pressure on the bottom of the jug?

49.0 N/cm2

6.41 N/cm2

0.156 N/cm2

15400 N/cm2

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. The pressure on the bottom of the jug is 0.156 N/cm^2. Pressure is calculated by the ratio of the force applied and the cross sectional area of the object. We calculate as follows:

P = force / area

P = 5x9.81 / (pi) x10^2

P = 0.156 N/cm^2
