Underwater Pressure Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Underwater Pressure is:

\[ P = \rho \cdot g \cdot h \]

Where:

P is the pressure (Pascals).
\(\rho\) is the water density (kg/m³).
g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²).
h is the depth (meters).

What is Underwater Pressure?

Underwater pressure is the force per unit area exerted by water on any surface submerged in it. This pressure increases with depth due to the weight of the water above the point of measurement. It is a crucial factor in various fields such as marine biology, diving, and engineering.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Water Density: 1000 kg/m³
Depth: 10 meters

Using the formula to calculate the Underwater Pressure:

\[ P = 1000 \cdot 9.81 \cdot 10 = 98100 \text{ Pascals} \]

This means that the underwater pressure for this scenario is 98100 Pascals.
