The absolute pressure, in kilopascals, a depth 10m below sea level is most nearly?

(Assume the pressure is, in fact, being measured underwater)

A) 100 B) 150 C) 200 D) 250 E) 300

option A

Explanation:

given,

depth of the sea level = 10 m

g = 10 m/s²

Pressure underwater = ?

we know,

P = ρ g h

where ρ is the density of water which is equal to 1000 kg/m³

h is the depth of sea level

P = ρ g h

P = 1000 x 10 x 10

P = 100000 Pa

P = 100 kPa

Hence, the correct answer is option A
