1- A freshwater lake has a maximum depth of 60 m, and the mean atmospheric pressure is 91 kPa. Estimate the absolute pressure in kPa at this maximum depth. 2- An pressure readin! can be expressed as a len!th or head, h " p# g. $hat is standard sea-le%el pressure expressed in &a' ft of eth lene !l col, &b' in Hg, &c' m of water, and &d' mm of methanol( Assume all fluids are at 20C. )- *he deepest known point in the ocean is 11,0)+ m in the ,ariana *rench in the -acific. At this depth, the specific wei!ht of seawater is approximatel 10,.20 N#m3. At the surface, 10,0.0 N#m3. Estimate the absolute pressure at this depth, in atm. +- /n 0i!.
