Question 12

An underwater camera is tested at the same depth in an open-air diving pool on two different days. Its sensor measures total pressure, including atmospheric pressure. On the first day, the sensor reads 154 kPa when the atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa. On the second day, the sensor reads 149 kPa. The depth of the camera and the density of the water are unchanged. What is the atmospheric pressure on the second day?
