Calculate Pressure at a Certain Depth





Formula

The formula to calculate Pressure (P) at a certain depth is:

\[ \text{P} = \text{d} \times \text{p} \times \text{g} \]

What is Pressure Depth?

Pressure depth is defined as the total pressure acting on an object that is submerged in a fluid at a certain depth. The pressure is caused by the force of gravity acting on the fluid. As depth increases, the pressure on an object also increases.

Relationship Between Depth and Pressure

Pressure and depth are directly correlated. As depth increases, pressure increases linearly. The pressure increases due to the weight of the fluid above the object, which exerts a force on the object as it goes deeper into the fluid.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Using the formula to calculate the Pressure:

\[ \text{P} = 10 \times 1000 \times 9.81 = 98100 \, \text{Pa} \]

This demonstrates that at a depth of 10 meters in water, the pressure would be 98100 pascals (Pa).
