Question: When running experiments on lake on the planet Krypton ( which miraculously has the same free - fall acceleration as Earth, g = 9 .

When running experiments on lake on the planet Krypton (which miraculously has the same free-fall acceleration as Earth, g=9.81 m/s2), you measure the pressure 12.0 m under the water's surface to be 2.04 x 105 Pa (1 Pa=1 N/m2). Assume the density of the water is 1000 kg/m3. At what depth below the waters surface would you measure a pressure of 1.5 x 105 Pa ? HINT: Try solving first for the pressure P0 at the surface of the water; since this is an alien planet it probably won't be the same as on Earth! Also, remember in which direction the pressure should increase.
