    Water Pressure (Yet again)

    Thanks to all for replies to the first posting in this series
    Still a little confused.
    In Norbert Brueggen's book "Submarine Technology" he states that at a depth of 10m water pressure is 1 bar. He then gives the following formula p=roxgxh where
    p= pressure in bar
    ro= Density of Fresh Water 0.998 kg per cubic meter
    g=acceleration due to gravity 9.81m/s
    h=depth in metres.
    If you apply this formula using h=10 then you get the following result:
    p=0.998x9.81x10 which equalls 97.90??
    Am I stupid or am I applying the formula incorrectly?

      Thanks Himszy.
      I have checked Norbert's

      Thanks Himszy.
      I have checked Norbert's book and his formula definately states Bar.

      Looks like that little error was missed on proof reading
