Answer:

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:

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