Calculate the absolute pressure at the bottom of a lake at a depth of 32.8 m. Assume the density of the water is 1 x 10^3 kgm-3 and the air above is at a pressure of 101.3 kPa.

[Take g = 9.8 ms-2]

A.

422.7

B.

220.14

C.

464.53

D.

321.74

Correct answer is A

h=32·8m,      p=  1×103kgm3

g=9·8 ms2 ,   Pa=101·3KPa

PT= ?

P=hpg

32·8×1×103×9·8=321440 Pa

⇒321·44KPa

PT =321.44+101.3

;PT=422·7KPa
