Pressure

This document is a pressure quiz containing 4 questions about calculating pressure, density, depth, and weight using various diagrams and information provided. Question 1 involves calculating the depth, density, and pressure of sea water in a rectangular paddling pool given the volume and mass. Question 2 calculates the depth of a submarine below the sea surface using given pressures, density, and atmospheric pressure. Question 3 finds the pressure exerted on a pin from an applied force using the area and force. Question 4 calculates weight, pressure, density using the dimensions of a liquid-filled container, the mass of liquid, and given depth.
