If the air on Earth's surface is replaced with water, then to what extent the water level must rise so as to maintain the same pressure on Earth's surface? [Assume nothing above water surface. given g = 10 m/s2, density of water = 1000 kg/m3.

Solution
The correct option is A
10 m
We know the Atm pressure = 105Nm2[approx] If the height of water atmosphere = h Then, pressure due to water =ρhg [Neglecting variation in 'g' and constant density of water] ρhg=105 1000×10×h=105 H=10m(approx)
