Question

If a scientific team uses special equipment to measures the pressure under water and finds it to be 282 pounds per square foot, at what depth is the team making their measurements?

Answer 1

p=282 pounds per square foot =1 376.8 kg/m2

d- density of water

d≈997 kg/m³

p=d*h

h=p/d

h=1 376.8/997

h=1.38 m (about 4530 feet 105⁄64 inches)
