What is gauge pressure?
Think about how we define pressure on a gauge.
True or False: Atmospheric pressure is constant at all altitudes.
Consider what happens when you climb mountains.
Calculate the gauge pressure at a depth of 5 meters in a lake where water density is 1000 kg/m³. Assume atmospheric pressure is 101.3 kPa.
Use the hydrostatic pressure equation and subtract atmospheric pressure.
