Pressure is calculated using P2=P1+pgh, where p is the density of the fluid (999.997kg/m^3), g is the acceleration of gravity (9.81m/s^2), and h is the depth you are trying to find the pressure at (in this case 1.2m).
Absolute pressure is going to be atmospheric pressure (P1=101.3kPa) plus the relative pressure to the liquid surface.
Thus we get P2=101300Pa+(999.997kg/m^3*9.81m
/s^2*1.2m)=101300Pa+11772Pa=113124.9Pa or 16.4psi.
Relative pressure is 11772Pa or 1.107psi.
Hope this helps you out as well as shows how to calculate pressure at depth for other fluids at various depths.

A vessel water storage tank of height 12 meters is filled to a depth of 8 meters with water at density 1000kgm calculate the pressure at the bottom of the vessel?
approximately 0.8 bar
Why you can't pump water higher then 12 meters?
That's not true. You can easily pump water higher than 12 meters providing you push it upwards from below. What you can't do is SUCK water upwards by more than 12 meters. The reason for that is that when you 'suck' water upwards, you're really creating a partial vacuum above the water and letting air pressure push the water up the pipe. But the weight of a column of 12 meters of water is more than the amount of air pressure there is to force it upwards, so a partial vacuum forms above 12 meters and the water simply won't move higher than that.
What is the minimum depth of water when using a starting block in the Olympics?
When using a starting block in the Olympics swimming pools, the minimum water depth is 1.35 meters, which is 4.43 feet deep. From the end wall the depth can range between 1 meter to 6 meters, or 3.28 feet to 19.69 feet.
How many gallons of water in 12 cubic meters?
There are 3,170.0646 US gallons of water in 12 cubic meters.
How many meters in one phantom?
none. But if you mean fathom, depth of water used mostly in sailing, 1 fathom is 6 feet, so 6 x 12 x 2.54 / 100 = 1.83 meters
How much water for 12 by 12 foot pool?
Depends on the depth and the material it is made from.
What is the volume of the water in a pool that is 30 meters long and 12 meters wide the shallow end is one meter and deep end is 2.5 meters?
Assuming one the depth varies along the 30 m length; the volume of water would be approx. 630 metercube or 22251.5 ft-cube or 166463 gallons. Hope it'll help.
What is the average depth for the average scuba diver?
40 feet (12 meters) to 100 feet (30 meters).
How much pressure is in a water tank that is 180 feet and give your answer per square inch?
I presume you mean at a depth of 180 feet. Since the weight of a cubic foot of water is approximately 65 pounds, the weight of water on a square foot at that depth is 65 times 180, which is 11,700 pounds. That is the pressure per square foot. Since there are 12 x 12 or 144 square inches in a square foot, the pressure in pounds per square inch would be 11,700 divided by 144, or about 81. This is in addition to the barometric pressure, which is about 14 pounds per square inch, for a total of 95 psi.Answer 1It's not possible for a water tank to be 180 feet. One of its dimensions could be, however.Sadly, since we don't know which dimension it is, nor do we know the height ofthe tank or the depth of the water in it, nor do we know at what level or in whichdirection you want the pressure measured, there's no way at all to even begin towork on a solution to this question.
How many cubic meters water in 12 x 5 x 2 meters?
120 cubic metres.
What does bar mean on waterproof watch?
It's a unit of pressure. 1 bar = 14psi (pounds per square inch). Every 6 feet underwater you go, The pressure increases by 1 bar. Therefore - if your watch has (for example) 2 bar written on it, it's capable of taking the water pressure at a depth of 12 feet.
How many gallons of water in a pool 3 feet x 12 feet?
22.44 gallons for each inch of the water's depth.
