The gauge pressure at a depth of $50 \mathrm{~m}$ in a sea is (Density of sea water is $1025 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}$ and $\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}$ )
  1. $1025 \mathrm{~Pa}$
  2. $512500 \mathrm{~Pa}$
  3. $20000 \mathrm{~Pa}$
  4. $15000 \mathrm{~Pa}$

Solution

The gauge pressure at a depth of $50 \mathrm{~m}$, $\begin{aligned} & P=\rho g h \\ & =1025 \times 10 \times 50 \\ & =512500 \mathrm{~Pa} \end{aligned}$
