Question

What is the absolute pressure at 450m depth in seawater (ρ\=1.03×103kg/m3) with Pa\=1.01×105Pa? (Take g\=9.8m/s2)

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

P = Pa+ρgh. Pa = 1.01×105Pa, ρ = 1.03×103kg/m3, g = 9.8m/s2, h = 450m. P = 1.01×105+1.03×103×9.8×450 = 1.01×105+4.5411×106 = 4.6421×106Pa. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 4.6 × 10⁶ Pa. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.
