what is the weight of a column of water 1m^2 10 m high?
weight=volume*density*g=10m^3*1E3kg/m^3*9.8N/kg
pressure=weight/area= above/1m^2
= 10*1000*9.8pascal=98kPa
check all that math, then when you figure it is right, remember that 32ft of water (about 10m) is equivalent to one atmosphere (101kpa), and that depth is the column height of a water baromenter....http://practicalphysics.org/water-barometer.html

The pressure on an object at a depth in water is given by P= atmospheric pressure + pgh , where p=density of water, h height of liquid column, g= acceleration due to gravity ,1.01×10^5 + 1000 × 9.8× 10~ 2×10^5Ans.
