Question
The gage pressure in a liquid at a depth of $3 \mathrm{~m}$ is read to be $28 \mathrm{kPa}$. Determine the gage pressure in the same liquid at a depth of $9 \mathrm{~m}$.
Step 1
The gage pressure \( P \) at a certain depth in a liquid is given by the formula: \[ P = \rho \cdot g \cdot h \] where \( \rho \) is the density of the liquid, \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity, and \( h \) is the depth. Show more…

The gage pressure in a liquid at a depth of $3 \mathrm{m}$ is read to be $42 \mathrm{kPa}$. Determine the gage pressure in the same liquid at a depth of $9 \mathrm{m}$
Both a gage and a manometer are attached to a gas tank to measure its pressure. If the reading on the pressure gage is $80 \mathrm{kPa},$ determine the distance between the two fluid levels of the manometer if the fluid is $(a)$ mercury $\left(\rho=13,600 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right)$ or $(b)$ water $\left(\rho=1000 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right)$
At an ocean depth of $76.2 \mathrm{m},$ the pressure is about 8.4 $\mathrm{atm} .$ Convert the pressure to $\mathrm{mm} \mathrm{Hg}$ and kPa units.
