Explanation:
Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted by a fluid at equilibrium at a given point within the fluid, due to the force of gravity. Hydrostatic pressure increases in proportion to depth measured from the surface because of the increasing weight of fluid exerting downward force from above.
The formula is :
P= d x g x h
p: hydrostatic pressure (N/m²)
d: density (kg/m³) density of seawater is 1,030 kg/m³
g: gravity (m/s²) ≅ 9.8m/s²
h: height (m)
