How do you calculate absolute pressure at 55 metres below sea level when atmospheric pressure is 103 kilo pascals?

absolute pressure of liquid = atmospheric pressure (P₀) + (relative density (ρ) of liquid x height of liquid x gravitational acceleration)
P₀ = 103000 Pa
ρ of sea water at 15°C = 1025 kg/m³
h = 55 m
g = 9.81m/s²
Answer = 103000 Pa + (1025 kg/m³ x 9.81 m/s² x 55 m)
Answer = 6.56 x 10^5 Pa
(Sorry about using the carat in signifying the scientific notation, but apparently I cannot find a way to type a superscript 5 using code.)

What does mm Hg mean for compression stockings?
"mm Hg" stands for millimetres of mercury. Atmospheric pressure was measured in terms of the height of a column of mercury that it could support and by extension, mm Hg became a unit for measuring pressure.
Air pressure is measured in which of the following units?
Atmospheric pressure is measured by a barometer and expressed in millibars. Normal atmospheric pressure at sea level is 1,013 millibars. Pressure is also measured in pascals, which is the pressure of 1 newton over 1 square meter. (A newton is the amount of force needed to accelerate 1 kilogram by 1 meter per second per second. 'atmosphere' itself is a unit , abbreviated as atm. 1atm=1.013 x 105. In the English system, pressure is measured in pounds per square inch. A pound per square inch is equal to about 6,890 pascal.
How is boost measured?
boost is pressure. units of pressure is pounds per square inch(psi), atmospheres (bar), and kilo pascals (kpa)
This is a measure in newtons per spaure meter?
Pressure is measured in Pascals. 1 Pa = 1 N/m2.
What do you mean by pascal and how many pascals are equal to 1 ATM?
Pascal is an alternative unit of pressure to atmospheres. 1atm is 101325pa
What is the conversion factor to change atmospheres to pascals?
1 atm(atmospheric pressure)=101,325pa(pascals)
What is larger atmospheric pressure or sound pressure?
Atmospheric pressure is around 101325 pascals. Usual talking is around 0.04 pascal. You see what is larger.
Gauge pressure and absolute pressure?
Gauge pressure is what you get when you take the reading from your tire pressure gauge. Absolute pressure is the pressure inside your tires plus the atmospheric pressure, which is roughly; 14.7 psi, 101.3 kPa (kilo-Pascals), or one atmosphere. Absolute pressure measures all of the pressure on your tires, inside and out, whereas gauge simply measures the pressure inside the tire.
Why was 1013.25hPa taken as standard atmospheric pressure?
It is an definition by the international organization. When the temperature is 15 centigrade degree. To measure the atmospheric pressure is 1013.25 hundred pascals.
How much atmosphere pressure does mars have?
About 600 pascals. For comparison, standard atmospheric pressure on Earth is about 101 kilopascals.
Calculate the pressure in pascals if a 560N is applied to an area of 1.6m and sup2?
pressure is force divided by area. If area is 1.6m^2 then pressure is 560/1.6 = 350 pascals
What is the definition of kilopascal?
One thousand pascals. A pascal is a unit of atmospheric pressure or pressure generally. There is about 7 kilopascals in one psi. The atmospheric pressure at sea level is approximately one hundred kilopascals.
What is the unit of measuring atmospheric pressure?
Millibars. Inches of mercury or feet of water
What is the Atmospheric pressure on Pluto?
Almost zero. Pluto has very little gravity and cannot support much of an environment. In its summer, it can get up to 0.3 Pascals of atmospheric pressure, about 338,000 times less pressure than on Earth.
What does hPa means in terms of pressure in weather?
hPa stands for Hectopascal preasure unit this is the international unit for measuring atmospheric or barometric pressure.1 hPa = 100 pascalsStandard atmospheric pressure = 101325 pascals = 1013.25 hPa
What is average room pressure?
In the room will usually be the same as the outside atmospheric pressure. The standard atmosphere is defined as being 101325 pascals = 101.325 kPa.
What is atmospheric pressure in hPa?
The conversion factor is 101.325. So, atmospheres x 101.325 = kilo-pascals.
