The pressure at the **top of a column of water** open to atmosphere is approximately:

  1. $10^5$ Pa (atmospheric pressure)
  2. Zero
  3. $10^7$ Pa
  4. Cannot be determined
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. $10^5$ Pa (atmospheric pressure)

Surface of an open water body is at atmospheric pressure $p_0 \approx 1.013 \times 10^5$ Pa. **Pressure increases with depth:** $p = p_0 + h\rho g$.
