Calculate how much pressure a person experiences in water at a depth of 10 m.

Given:

h = 10 meters – the depth at which the person is;

ro = 1000 kilograms / cubic meter – density of water;

g = 10 Newton / kilogram – acceleration of gravity.

It is required to determine P (Pascal) – the water pressure experienced by a person at a depth of h.

To determine the water pressure, you must use the following formula:

P = ro * g * h = 1000 * 10 * 10 = 100000 * 10 = 1,000,000 Pascal = 1 MPa.

Answer: at a depth of 10 meters, a person experiences a water pressure equal to 1,000,000 Pascal (1 MPa).
