Question

Calculate the depth of salt water lake , if the pressure at its base is 16 times the

atmospheric pressure . The density of salt water is 1050 kg / m3

and acceleration

due to gravity is 10 m/s2

. The atmospheric pressure is 10 N/cm2

.​

Answer 1

Answer:

We begin by solving the equation P = hρg for depth h: h=Pρg h = P ρ g . Then we take P to be 1.00 atm and ρ to be the density of the water that creates the pressure.
