If a barometer is constructed using water instead of mercury (density of water = 1000 kg/m³, Pa = 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa, g = 9.8 m/s²), the height of the water column would be approximately:
Pascal duplicated Torricelli's barometer using French wine of density 984 kg m⁻³. The height of the wine column for normal atmospheric pressure (Pa = 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa, g = 9.8 m/s²) is approximately:
A diver is at a depth of 10 m below the surface of a lake. Given ρ_water = 1000 kg/m³, g = 10 m/s², Pa = 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa. The absolute pressure at that depth is:
A submarine is at a depth of 1000 m in an ocean (ρ_seawater = 1.03 × 10³ kg/m³, g = 10 m/s²). The gauge pressure on the submarine's hull is approximately:
