Answer:

The atmospheric pressure in atm=0.885 atm

Explanation:

Given that

Local pressure (h)= 30 ft of water height     ( 1 ft= 0.3048 m)

We know that pressure in given by

  P=ρgh

We know that ρ of water is 1000[tex]\dfrac{kg}{m^3}[/tex]

So pressure

P=1000(9.81)(9.144)

[tex]P=89.7026 \dfrac{N}{m^2}[/tex]

We know that 1000 Pa=0.00986 atm

So P=0.885 atm

The atmospheric pressure in atm=0.885 atm
