At what depth is the pressure in seawater 515,000 Pa.
According to Pascal’s law:
The hydrostatic pressure inside the liquid at any depth does not depend on the shape of the vessel in which the liquid is located, and is equal to the product of the density of the liquid, the acceleration of gravity and the depth at which the pressure is determined:
P = ρ * g * h, where ρ is the density of the liquid, g is the free fall acceleration of a body raised above the Earth g = 9.8 m / s2, h is the depth of immersion in the liquid.
Let us express the depth from this expression:
h = P / (ρ * g)
Let’s find the specific gravity of sea water according to the reference book:
ρ = 1025 kg / m³
Let’s substitute numerical values into the expression to determine the depth:
h = P / (ρ * g) = 515000 / (1025 * 9.8) = 51.3 m
Answer: at a depth of 51.3 meters.
