Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 2/3

A diver is exploring a coral reef off the coast of Barbados at a depth of 20 m below the surface of the sea. The density of sea water is 1030 kg/m³ and g = 10 N/kg. What is the pressure due to the water at this depth?

  1. 20 600 Pa
  2. 206 000 Pa
  3. 103 000 Pa
  4. 10 300 Pa
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B206 000 Pa
Award 1 mark for correct answer. Pressure = ρgh = 1030 × 10 × 20 = 206 000 Pa. A is incorrect because it omits the density factor. C is incorrect because it uses only half the depth. D is incorrect because it divides by 20 instead of multiplying.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 2/3

At sea level, the atmospheric pressure is 101 000 Pa. What is the approximate total force exerted by the atmosphere on a rectangular table top measuring 2 m by 1 m?

  1. 50 500 N
  2. 101 000 N
  3. 202 000 N
  4. 303 000 N
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C202 000 N
Award 1 mark for correct answer. Force = Pressure × Area = 101 000 × (2 × 1) = 202 000 N. A is incorrect because it uses only half the area. B is incorrect because it omits the area calculation. D is incorrect due to arithmetic error (possibly adding instead of multiplying).

CXC CSEC Physics: Pressure in Fluids and Atmospheric Pressure FAQ

How many CXC CSEC Physics questions on Pressure in Fluids and Atmospheric Pressure are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 20 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Pressure in Fluids and Atmospheric Pressure for CXC CSEC Physics, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real CXC paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for CXC CSEC students preparing for Physics?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Pressure in Fluids and Atmospheric Pressure practice with other Physics topics or even switch to a totally different CXC subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Pressure in Fluids and Atmospheric Pressure questions aligned to the official CXC CSEC Physics syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC Physics specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CXC.
How is Pressure in Fluids and Atmospheric Pressure typically tested on CXC CSEC Physics papers?
Pressure in Fluids and Atmospheric Pressure appears across multiple question types on real CXC CSEC Physics papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
