What is 1 atmospheric pressure?

Best Answers

One atmosphere (101 kPa or 14.7 psi) is the pressure caused by the weight of a column of fresh water of approximately 10.3 m (33.8 ft). Thus, a diver 10.3 m underwater experiences a pressure of about 2 atmospheres (1 atm of air plus 1 atm of water). read more

Atmospheric pressure, sometimes also called barometric pressure, is the pressure within the atmosphere of Earth (or that of another planet). In most circumstances atmospheric pressure is closely approximated by the hydrostatic pressure caused by the weight of air above the measurement point. read more

* Yes, 1 atmospheric pressure is equal to 10.33 meter under water. * 1 atmospheric pressure = 1.01325 bar. * For under water pressure is define by this equation, * P = density of water * gravitational acceleration * height under water. read more
