Problem 12 - Variation of Pressure

Problem
In a condenser containing air and water, the air pressure is 22.1 kPa absolute. What is the gage pressure in kiloNewton per square meter at a point 1.37 m below the water surface.
 

Problem 03 - Variation of Pressure

Problem
Take sea water to be 3% heavier than fresh water and assume it is incompressible. What is the pressure, in metric ton per square meter, at 3.22 km below the surface of the ocean if fresh water weighs 9.79 kN/m3?
