At a depth of 9 meters below the surface of water, the gauge pressure is 88.131 kN/m^2 and the absolute pressure is 189.344 kN/m^2. The document provides an example calculation to determine the gauge and absolute pressures of water at a given depth by using the density of water, acceleration due to gravity, and atmospheric pressure.

Example2:

Determine(a)thegaugepressureand(b)Theabsolutepressureofwateratadepthof9mfromthesurface.
Solution:
Givendata:
Depthofwater=9m
thedensityofwater=998.2kg/m3
Andaccelerationduetogravity=9.81m/s2
ThusthepressureatthatdepthduetotheoverlyingwaterisP=gh=88.131kN/m2
Casea)asalreadydiscussed,gaugepressureisthepressureabovethenormalatmosphericpressure.
Thus,thegaugepressureatthatdepth=88.131kN/m2
Caseb)Thestandardatmosphericpressureis101.213kN/m2
Thus,theabsolutepressureasPabs=88.131+101.213=189.344kN/m2
Answer:88.131kN/m2101.213kN/m2
