Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the absolute pressure at a depth of 10 meters of water. Given that the density of water is 1000 kg/m³ and atmospheric pressure is 101.3 kPa.

💡 Hint: Remember to add atmospheric pressure to the hydrostatic pressure.

Question 2

If the gauge pressure in a tire is 35 psi, what is the absolute pressure assuming atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi?

💡 Hint: Always add atmospheric pressure to get absolute pressure.
