What would be the absolute pressure at depth \(1 \mathrm{~km}\) below the ocean?
[Given : density of water \(=10^{3} \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}, \mathrm{~g}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}, 1\) atmospheric pressure \(=\) \(\left.1 \cdot 01 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\right]\)

  1. A \(10 \cdot 101 \times 10^{7} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\)
  2. B \(10 \cdot 101 \times 10^{7}\) dyne \(/ \mathrm{cm}^{2}\)
  3. C \(10 \cdot 101 \times 10^{6}\) dyne \(/ \mathrm{cm}^{2}\)
  4. D \(10 \cdot 101 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(10 \cdot 101 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given: \(\mathrm{h}=1000 \mathrm{~m}, \mathrm{~d}=1.03 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}, \mathrm{~g}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\)
The absolute pressure is given by: absolute pressure \(=\) pressure of water \(+\) atmospheric pressure
\(\mathrm{P}=\mathrm{~hdg}+1 \mathrm{~atm}=1000 \times 1.03 \times 10^{3} \times 10+1\mathrm{~atm}\) \(=1.03 \times 10^{7} \mathrm{~Pa}+1 \mathrm{~atm}\)
\(P=103 \mathrm{~atm}+1 \mathrm{~atm}=104 \mathrm{~atm}\)
