Question

A submarine is at depth 100 m. If atmospheric pressure = 10⁵ Pa, seawater density = 1025 kg/m³, g = 10 m/s², gauge pressure on hull is:
  1. A
    10.25×10⁵ Pa
  2. B
    1.025×10⁶ Pa
  3. C
    1.025 MPa
  4. D
    All of the above
    Correct

Correct answer

All of the above

Explanation

Gauge P = ρgh = 1025×10×100 = 1.025×10⁶ Pa = 10.25 atm. All three options express the same value.
