Underwater Pressure

Underwater pressure, abbreviated as \(p_u\), is the added pressure exerted underwater directly above a spot at the water level.

 

Underwater Pressure formula

\(\large{ p_u = 1025 \; g\; d  }\)

Where:

\(\large{ p_u }\) = underwater pressure	\(\large{\frac{lbf}{in^2}}\)	\(\large{Pa}\)
\(\large{ g }\) = gravitational acceleration	\(\large{\frac{ft}{sec^2}}\)	\(\large{\frac{m}{s^2}}\)
\(\large{ d }\) = depth under water	\(\large{ft}\)	\(\large{m}\)
