SUMMARY
The pressure at 15 feet underwater is calculated using the formula p = ρ·g·h, where ρ is the density of water (approximately 62.4 lb/ft³), g is the acceleration due to gravity (32.2 ft/s²), and h is the depth in feet. Substituting these values, the gauge pressure at this depth is approximately 31.5 psi. This calculation is essential for understanding hydrostatic pressure in fluid mechanics.
