You are designing a diving bell to withstand the pressure of seawater at a depth

Question

You are designing a diving bell to withstand the pressure of seawater at a depth of 200m.
A) What is the gauge pressure at this depth? (You can ignore changes in the density of the water at this depth) You are designing a diving bell to withstand the pressure of seawater at a depth of 200m.

A) What is the gauge pressure at this depth? (You can ignore changes in the density of the water at this depth)

Explanation / Answer

Pressure at the depth is given by = pgh
where p is density = 1029 kg/m3 ,
g is acceleration due to gravity
h is depth
Pressure = (1029)*9.81*200
= 2.019*106 Pa
hence the gauge pressure will be 2.019*106 MPa
