(a) A large, open at the top, upright cylindrical tank contains fresh water with a density of 1.00 × 10³ kg/m³. If the air
pressure is 101.3 kPa, determine the absolute pressure (in Pa) in the fluid at a depth of 27.0 m.
264701
The absolute pressure at any point in the fluid is the sum of atmospheric pressure and the pressure due to the depth
of the fluid. Did you remember to account for atmospheric pressure? Pa
(b) Determine the force (in N) exerted by only the fluid on the window of an instrument probe at this depth if the window
is circular and has a diameter of 3.30 cm.
