Calculate the pressure at a depth of 50 m below the surface of the sea. The density of sea water is 1024 kg/m3. Take acceleration due to gravity g = 10 m/s2
512000 Pa
Given,
Density (d) = 1024 kg/m3, Depth h = 50 m and g = 10 m/s2
The expression of pressure at the bottom of a liquid of height h and density d is given by ρgh
Thus, pressure = ρgh = 1024×50×10 = 512000 Pa
