At what depth is the water pressure in the sea equal to 516 kPa?

The hydrostatic pressure of water in the sea can be calculated using the formula:
Р = ρ * g * h, where Р is the hydrostatic pressure of seawater (Р = 516 kPa = 516 * 10³ Pa), ρ is the density of salt water (ρ = 1030 kg / m³), g is the acceleration of gravity (we take g = 10 m / s²), h – desired depth (m).
Let’s express and calculate the depth:
h = P / (ρ * g) = (516 * 10³) / (1030 * 10) = 50.1 m.
Answer: The desired depth is 50.1 m.
