Answer

$P=126kPa$

Work Step by Step

Choosing $1$ at a depth of $3m$ en $2$ at a depth of $9m$ and knowing that: $P_{1}=\rho_{fluid}*g*h_{1}$ and $P_{2}=\rho_{fluid}*g*h_{2}$ Assuming that the variation of the density is negligible: $\rho_{fluid}=\frac{P_{1}}{g*h_{1}}$ and $P_{2}=\frac{P_{1}}{g*h_{1}}*g*h_{2}=\frac{P_{1}*h_{2}}{h_{1}}$ Then: $P_{2}=\frac{(42kPa)*(9m)}{3m}=126kPa$
