Question

A sea lab is to be designed to withstand submersion to 150 m, measured from the sea level to the top of the sea lab. Calculate the pressure on the top of the sea lab. The density of sea water is 1020 kg/mº and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s".

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The hydrostatic pressure is defined as the pressure that is exerted by a fluid at equilibrium at a given point within the fluid, due to the force of gravity, the formula is:

P = ρgh + P₀

Where:

ρ is density (1020kg/m³)

g is gravity (9,8m/s²)

h is depth (150m)

P₀ is the atmspheric pressure (101325 Pa)

Replacing, P = 1'600'725 Pa
