Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the gauge pressure at a depth of 5 m in fresh water. The atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa and water density is 1000 kg/m³.

💡 Hint: Consider the definition of gauge pressure and the formula involving fluid density and gravity.

Question 2

You have a vacuum pressure of -20 kPa. What is the absolute pressure, assuming atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa?

💡 Hint: Remember the relationship of absolute pressure with atmospheric and vacuum pressure.
