To find the pressure exerted below a column of water open to the atmosphere at different depths, we can use the hydrostatic pressure formula: \[ P = P_0 + \rho g h \] where: - \( P \) is the total pressure at depth, - \( P_0 \) is the atmospheric pressure (approximately \( 1.013 \times 10^5 \) Pascals), - \( \rho \) is the density of the fluid (for water, \( \rho = 1 \times 10^3 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \)), ...
