The pressure is given as follows:
p=ρgh where ρ=1022kg/m3 is the specific gravity of the seawater, g=9.81m/s2 is the gravitational acceleration, and h=60ft≈18.29m is the depth. Thus, obtain:
p=1022⋅9.81⋅18.29≈1.834×105Pa In psia:
pa=p/6895+14.7psi≈41.29psia where 14.7psi is the atmospheric pressure.
Answer. 41.29 psia.
