QuestionWhat is the pressure due to water at a depth of 7.50 km below sea level?Meredith Juncker is a PhD candidate in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center. Her studies are focused on proteins and neurodegenerative diseases.Seawater has a density of about 1000 kg/m^3. You have given the depth (height = 7.50 km or 7500 m), and we know the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s^2. 1000 kg/m^3 * 7500 m * 9.81 m/s^2 = 7.3 x 10^7 kg/m/s^2 or 7.3 x 10^7 Pa.

QuestionHow do I calculate the fluid pressure of a hydraulic system?Community AnswerYou can calculate hydraulic system pressure using an equation, which states that pressure in pounds per square inch equals force in pounds times the surface area of a piston in square inches. Obtain the values to make the calculation. You will need to know the force in pounds (F) and surface area of the piston in square inches (A).
