Answer

a) $h=1.90m$ b) $P=118KPa$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the required depth as $h=\frac{P-P_{at}}{\rho g}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $h=\frac{116\times 10^3-1.01\times 10^5}{(806)(9.81)}$ $h=1.90m$ (b) We can find the pressure as $h_2=\frac{2.05\times 10^{-3}}{65.2\times 10^{-4}}=0.314m$ $h_{total}=h+h_2=1.897+0.314=2.211m$ Now $P=P_{at}+\rho gh$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $P=1.01\times 10^5+(806)(9.81)(2.211)$ $P=118KPa$
