Given that the gage pressure at depth of 3 m is 42 kPa. To determine the gage pressure at depth 9 m we can consider that the pressure of the first case P1 is the gage pressure at depth of h1=3m and similarly we can define P2 as the gage pressure at depth of h2=9m.
Then we could obtain P1 and P2 as:
P1=ρL g h1 (1)
P2=ρL g h2 (2)
Dividing equ. (2) by equ. (1)
P2P1=ρLgh2ρLgh1
P2=P1h2h1
=42(kPa)93
=126kPa

Given,
Depth 1=h1=3m
Gage pressure at depth 1=Pg1=42kPa
Depth 2=h2=9m
Total pressure in liquid is given by,
P=Pa+ρgh
Where,
Pa= Atmoshpheric pressure
ρ= Density of liquid
g= Gravitational acceleration
h= depth
Gage pressure is given by,
Pg=PPa=ρgh
Step 2
Gage pressure at depth 1 is given by,
Pg1=ρgh1(eq.i)
Gage pressure at depth 2 is given by,
Pg2=ρgh2(eq.ii)
Taking ration of equaion (i) and (ii),
Pg1Pg2=ρgh1ρgh2
PgqPg2=h1h2
39
Pg2=42×93
Pg2=126kPa
Answer:
Gage pressure at depth of 9m=126kPa

Answer:
126 kPa
Explanation:
P=ρ·g·h
where:
- P is the pressure
- ρ is the density of the liquid
- g is the acceleration due to gravity
- h is the depth of the liquid
In this problem, we are given the depth h1=3m and the gauge pressure P1=42kPa. We need to find the gauge pressure P2 at a depth h2=9m.
To find P2, we can set up a ratio between the two pressures at different depths:
P2P1=h2h1
Substituting the given values, we have:
P242kPa=9m3m
Simplifying the equation gives:
P2=42kPa×9m3m
Now we can calculate the value of P2:
P2=42kPa×3=126kPa
Therefore, the gauge pressure in the liquid at a depth of 9 m is 126 kPa.

Step 1:
Given:
P=ρ·g·h where ρ is the density of the liquid, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the depth of the liquid.
We are given that the gage pressure at a depth of 3 m is 42 kPa. Gage pressure is the pressure measured relative to atmospheric pressure. In other words, it is the excess pressure above atmospheric pressure. Therefore, we need to convert the given gage pressure to absolute pressure by adding the atmospheric pressure.
Let's assume the atmospheric pressure is Patm.
At a depth of 3 m, the absolute pressure P1 is given by:
P1=Patm+gage pressure=Patm+42kPa
Step 2:
Now, we need to find the gage pressure at a depth of 9 m, denoted by P2.
Using the hydrostatic pressure formula, we can write:
P2=Patm+ρ·g·h
Comparing this equation with the equation for P1, we can see that P2 is simply P1 plus the additional pressure due to the increased depth of 6 m.
Therefore, we can write:
P2=P1+ρ·g·Δh
where Δh is the change in depth, which is 9m3m=6m.
Substituting the known values, we have:
P2=(Patm+42kPa)+(ρ·g·6m)
Since we are not given the density of the liquid or the atmospheric pressure, we cannot determine the exact value of P2 without additional information. However, we can express the solution in terms of variables and known values:
P2=Patm+42kPa+ρ·g·6m
Note that the gage pressure at a depth of 9 m will be greater than the gage pressure at a depth of 3 m due to the increased depth.

To solve the problem, we can use the equation for the gage pressure in a liquid:
P=ρ·g·h
where:
P is the gage pressure,
ρ is the density of the liquid,
g is the acceleration due to gravity, and
h is the depth of the liquid.
Given that the gage pressure at a depth of 3 m is 42 kPa, we can use this information to find the value of ρ·g.
At a depth of 3 m:
P1=ρ·g·3ρ·g=P13
Substituting the given values, we have:
P13=42kPa
Now, we can determine the gage pressure at a depth of 9 m.
At a depth of 9 m:
P2=ρ·g·9
We can substitute the value of ρ·g from the previous equation:
P2=(P13)·9P2=3P1
Therefore, the gage pressure at a depth of 9 m is three times the gage pressure at a depth of 3 m.
