Pressure in a Fluid

A submarine is designed to withstand an absolute pressure of 100 atm. How deep can it go below the water surface?

(Consider the density of water $= 1000\text{ kg m}^{-3},\ 1\text{ atm} = 1 \times 10^{5}\text{ Pa}$ and gravitational acceleration $g = 10\text{ m/s}^{2}$ )

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

Absolute pressure at depth $h$ : $P = P_0 + \rho g h$ .
$100\times10^5 = 1\times10^5 + 1000\times10\times h$
$h = \dfrac{99\times10^5}{10^4} = 990\text{ m}$
So the answer is (a) 990 m.
