Figure 1.35 Determining the pressure at the bottom of a column of fluid C11 1 Pressure at the Bottom of a Column of Fluid Information from Problem Statement 3 4 Grav. Acceleration: 9.8 m/s 760 mm 13.6 Column Height: 6 Specific Gravity: 7 8 Calculated Values 9 Column Height (Si): 10 0.76 m Density:13600 kg/m3 Pressure:101293 Pa, or N/m Pressure: 1.00 atm 12 13

Create the worksheet shown in Figure 1.35 and use it to determine the pressure at the bottom of the columns of fluid specified below. [Do not consider any imposed pressure (e.g., air pressure) on the top of the column.]

a.A column of water 10 m high (SGwater =1.0)
b. A column of seawater 11,000 m high. This is the depth of the Marianas Trench, the deepest spot known in the earth’s oceans (SGseawater = 1.03) (ignore the variation in water density with pressure).

Please show all steps for questions (a) and (b)
