Question

The pressure at sea level is generally considered to be 1 atm. Pressure increases the deeper you dive in the ocean by roughly 1 atm every 10 meters. At a depth of 50 meters the pressure will be 5 atm. What is this pressure in kPa?

Answer 1

Answer:

one atmosphere equals about 14.6 pounds per square inch pressure, and the pressure increases 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters of depth.

Explanation:

34 feet

And now for a little math!

Fresh water being slightly lighter, requires a depth of 34 feet to equal 1 ATM, so fresh water exerts a pressure of 14.7 divided by 34, or .
