The barometric reading at a place is 73.5m Hg. Calculate the pressure at a point 30m below the surface of water contained in a reservoir at the place. [g = 10ms\(^{-2}\), density of mercury = 1.2 x 10\(^4\)kg m\(^{-3}\), density of water = 1.0 x 10\(^3\)m\(^{-3}\)]

a

4.0 x 105 Nm-2

b

3.0 x 10 5 Nm-2

c

2.0 x 105 Nm-2

d

1.0 x 105 Nm-2

1×10^3×10×30=p

p=hpg

p=m÷v density

the pressure =the atmospheric pressure + pressire dues to depth of water
1.3*10^4*10*0.735 +(1.0*10^3*10*30)
