Calculate the pressure at a depth of 50 m below sea level.
Given:
Density of sea water = 1024 kg/m3.
And, acceleration due to gravity g=10 m/s2
512000Pa
The expression of pressure at the bottom of a liquid of height h and density ρ is given by ρgh.
The given values are:
ρ=1024 kg/m3, h=50 m and g=10 m/s2.
Thus, pressure=ρgh=1024×50×10=512000Pa.
