It just means that the pressure you're measuring is

approximately the same as Earth's air pressure at sea level.

What is the absolute pressure at 10m sea water depth?

The absolute pressure at a depth of 10 meters in sea water can be calculated by adding the atmospheric pressure to the pressure due to the water column. At 10m depth, the pressure due to the water column is approximately 1 atm (equal to 10 meters of water column) and adding the atmospheric pressure of about 1 atm gives a total absolute pressure of around 2 atm.


What do you mean by the statement 'the atmospheric pressure is 1 ATM?

When we say that the atmospheric pressure is 1 ATM, we mean that the pressure exerted by the Earth's atmosphere at sea level is equivalent to 1 atmosphere (ATM), which is approximately 101.3 kilopascals or 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi). This unit of measurement is often used as a reference point for comparing other pressures.


What is the absolute pressure at the bottom of a lake that is 25 m deep?

10 m is equivalent to about 1 ATM (1 atmosphere) SO 25 m is equal to 2.5 ATM's absolute pressure would include the 2.5 ATM's plus 1 ATM (standard for sea level) so the answer would be 3.5 ATM's or about 35000 Pa (pascals)


How deep would you need to dive to experience a pressure of 2 ATM What would be the pressure at a depth of 100 m?

To experience a pressure of 2 ATM, you would need to dive to a depth of 20 meters (2 ATM = 1 ATM (surface) + 1 ATM (pressure at 10 meters depth)). At a depth of 100 meters, the pressure would be approximately 11 ATM (1 ATM at surface + 1 ATM for every 10 meters).


Are atmospheric pressure readings converted to standard atmospheric pressure to allow for comparable readings regardless of temperature elevation or humidity?

Yes, atmospheric pressure readings are often converted to standard atmospheric pressure (1 atm or 1013.25 hPa) to allow for comparisons between different locations. This standardization helps remove the influence of temperature, elevation, and humidity on the readings, making it easier to compare pressure measurements from various sources.

At sea level the gauge pressure for a time is 25 psi What is the internal pressure in atms?

To convert gauge pressure to absolute pressure, you need to add the atmospheric pressure. Since the atmospheric pressure at sea level is 1 atm, the internal pressure in this case would be 2.7 atm (25 psi gauge pressure = 1.7 atm + 1 atm atmospheric pressure).


What is the partial pressure of nitrogen in air at atmospheric pressure (1atm)?

The partial pressure of nitrogen in air at atmospheric pressure (1 atm) is approximately 0.78 atm. This means that nitrogen makes up about 78% of the total atmospheric pressure at sea level.
