What is the absolute pressure at a depth of 9.05 m below the surface of a deep lake? Assume atmospheric pressure is 1.01 * 10 5 Pa.

1.89 x 10⁵ Pa

Explanation:

given,

depth of the lake = 9.05 m

atmospheric pressure = 1.01 * 10⁵ Pa

absolute pressure = ?

we know,

Absolute pressure = atmospheric pressure + gauge pressure

Absolute pressure = 1.01 * 10⁵ Pa + ρgh

Absolute pressure = 1.01 * 10⁵ Pa + 1000 x 9.8 x 9.05

Absolute pressure = 1.89 x 10⁵ Pa

hence, absolute pressure is equal to 1.89 x 10⁵ Pa
