a

0.0cm3

b

2.0cm3

c

1.6cm3

the pressure at the bottom of the dam =atmospheric pressure +the pressure due to depth
and the pressure at the surface of the water =atmospheric pressure
so from p1v1=p2v2
p1=10+40=50
v1=?
v2 (at surface)=2.5
p2=10
50*v1=2.5*10
50*v1=25
v1=25/50
v1=0.5

p1 is = depth + atmospheric pressure. (40 +10) = 50

p2 = atmospheric pressure = 10

V1 = volume at the BUTTOM = ?
v2= volume below the surface = 2.5

using p1v1 = P2v2
50*x = 10*2.5

x = 10*2.5/50 = 0.5
