Question
A pressure measurement device fitted on the surface of a submarine, located at a depth below the surface of an ocean, reads an absolute pressure of 4.2 MPa. The density of sea water is 1050 kg/m, the atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa, and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s. The depth is ________ m (round off to the nearest integer).
Correct answer
397 to 399
Solution
The absolute pressure at depth is given by:Given:
Substituting the values:Rounding to the nearest integer, m.
Substituting the values:Rounding to the nearest integer, m.
