Problem

Seawater has density

1.03\times10^{3}\,\text{kg}\,\text{m}^{-3}

. A diver’s gauge shows a pressure of

5.0\times10^{4}\,\text{Pa}

above atmospheric pressure. Determine the diver’s depth below the water surface, and state whether this pressure at that point acts downward only, sideways only, or equally in all directions.
