The pressure under water(P) is equal to the density of water(ρ) multiplied by Earths gravitational constant(g) multiplied by the depth of water(h)
solve for h
P=ρ*g*h

Question

The pressure under water(P) is equal to the density of water(ρ) multiplied by Earths gravitational constant(g) multiplied by the depth of water(h)
solve for h 
P=ρ*g*h

anonymous · Answer

Divide both sides by (p*g) -> h=P/(p*g)

anonymous · Answer

is that it?

anonymous · Answer

I think that's all you need!

anonymous · Answer

i just need to work it out. i got the answer today and its $$h=\frac{ P }{ ρ }$$

anonymous · Answer

but i need to show work

anonymous · Answer

huh. that doesn't seem right! That answer doesn't account for the gravitational constant. Where did this answer come from?

anonymous · Answer

my teacher gave it to us. but i probably wrote it down wrong

anonymous · Answer

either that or your teacher got it wrong. Gotta love it when that happens! :)

anonymous · Answer

lol yeah ! haha i freaking hate my teacher! he is such a wingspan! he sits around on his computer and gives us papers to do when we haven't even learned the material yet and then he takes the paper the next day and grades it. like wtf? he hasnt taught us anything!

anonymous · Answer

ugh i hate that. Thank goodness for the internet!

anonymous · Answer

haha yeah. so the answer is $$h=\frac{ P }{  ρg}$$

anonymous · Answer

yes!! haha so proud of myself ;)

anonymous · Answer

haha thanks!! your freaking awesome!

anonymous · Answer

back at ya! love open study.
