Pressure in Liquids

P=ρgh=1000×9.8×1P = \rho g h = 1000 \times 9.8 \times 1
Density1000 kg/m³
Depth1.00 m
Pressure9800 Pa
  • Select Water and set the depth to 1 m — read off the pressure (about 9 800 Pa)
  • On Water, push the depth to its maximum (2.5 m)
  • Switch to Mercury and find a depth where the pressure exceeds 100 000 Pa
  • Switch to Palm oil and get the pressure as close as possible to 4 500 Pa
  • On Mercury, find how shallow a depth still gives at least 50 000 Pa — keep the depth below 0.5 m
