A skilled diver can dive to a depth of 20m. Determine the hydrostatic pressure of the sea water

A skilled diver can dive to a depth of 20m. Determine the hydrostatic pressure of the sea water at this depth. (Density = 1030, g = 10)

Given:

H = 20 meters – the depth to which a diver can dive;

g = 10 N / kg – acceleration of gravity;

ro = 1030 kg / m ^ 3 is the density of water.

It is required to determine the water pressure P (Newton) at a depth H.

P = ro * g * H = 1030 * 10 * 20 = 1030 * 200 = 206000 Pascal.

Answer: The hydrostatic pressure at a depth of 20 meters is 206,000 Pascals.
