Find the pressure at a depth of 10m in water if the atmospheric pressure is 100kPa. [1Pa=1N/m²] [100kPa=105Pa=105N/m²=1 atm.] [Ans: 198 kPa] |

Answer» Given CONDITIONS ⇒ Depth (d)= 10 m. Atmospheric Pressure = 100 kPa = 100 × 10³ Pa. Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s². Density of the water = 1000 kg/m³. Using the Formula, Pressure = dρg = 10 × 1000 × 9.8 = 98000 Pa. = 98 × 10³ Pa. Total Pressure at the depth of 10 m. = Atmospheric Pressure + Pressure calculated. = 100 × 10³ + 98 × 10³ = 10³(100 + 98) = 198 × 10³ Pa. = 198 kPa. [∵ 10³ = 1 K] Hence, the Pressure at the depth of 10 m is 198 kPa. Hope it HELPS. |
