Hello,

I need to calculate vertical(Pv) and horizontal(Ph) water pressure in the below situation.

There is an object in the water, so please check if my calculations are correct.

Pressure increases linearly with depth

P=ρ⋅g⋅h

​g = 9.81m/s^2

If you are calculating absolute pressure (as opposed to gauge pressure), you would also need to add atmospheric pressure (approximately
101.3 kPa) to the result.

This is very basic fluid here....

Pressure in a fluid ay any point acts equally in all directions at the same time.

Your something makes no difference. Only that 1.5m (vertical height) is relevant.
