Calculate the pressure at a depth of 50 m below the surface of the sea. The density of sea water is 1024 kg/m3.
512000 Pa
Given,
Depth = 50 m
Density = 1024 kg/m3
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=512000Pa.
