E.1) Someone is traveling on the North Pacific coast, where the atmospheric pressure is 102.5 kPa. He goes on a diving tour and dives 15 meters below the surface of the sea. Then, climb a 150 meter high hill. Assuming that the density of sea water is 1040 kg/m³ and the density of air is 1.2 kg/m³. Determine the pressure at both sites visited.
