Solution

Step 1: Given data

Atmosphericpressure(P)=105PaDensityofwater(ρ)=103kgm-3g=9.8ms-2

Let us assume the depth below the surface of the water at which pressure will be equal to 1 atm ash.

Step 2: Calculating the depth

P=ρ×g×h105Pa=103kgm-3×9.8ms-2×hh=105103×9.8=10.2m

Hence, at a depth of 10.2m below the surface of the water, the pressure will be equal to atmospheric pressure.
