Expert Solution
Given data

Given that:

  • The pressure of the atmosphere P=101 kPa.
  • The density of the fluid ρ= 1000 kg/m3.

Standard values:

  • Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8 m/s2.

 

 

Step 1

a) Calculate the pressure of the fluid at given a depth h=0.15 m.

P=P+ρgh.

Substitute the values in the above equation.

P=101 kPa+1000 kg/m3×9.8 m/s2×0.15 m=101 kPa +1470 kg·m/s2 1 N1  kg·m/s2×1m2=101 kPa +1470 N/m2=101 kPa +1470  N/m2 ×1 kPa1000 N/m2=101 kPa + 1.47 kPaP=102.47 kPa

Hence, the pressure at 0.15 m depth is found to be 102.47 kPa.
