a certain lake, filled with fresh water, is 40 m deep and located at sea level. what is the absolute pressure (in kpa) at the bottom of the lake?



Answer :

A certain lake, filled with fresh water, is 40 m deep and located at sea level. The absolute pressure (in kpa) at the bottom of the lake will be 492.1 kPa

P1 = rho * g * h

rho = density of water

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = depth

P1 = rho * g * h

   = 997 * 9.8 * 40 = 390824  N / [tex]m^{2}[/tex] = 390.8 kPa

P(absolute pressure) =  Po + P1

  =   101.3 + 390.8  = 492.1 kPa

The absolute pressure (in kPa) at the bottom of the lake will be 492.1 kPa
