Question

Calculate the gauge pressure at a depth of 295 m in seawater

Answer 1

P = 2893.95 [kPa]

Step-by-step explanation:

The manometric pressure can be calculated by means of the following equation.

`P=Ro*g*h`

where:

Ro = density of the water = 1000 [kg/m³]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

h = deep = 295 [m]

Now replacing:

`P = 1000*9.81*295\\P = 2893950 [Pa]\\P = 2893.95 [kPa]`
