The deepest he could go h = 1.152 m

<h3>What is pressure?</h3>

pressure in physics refers to the ratio of force to area. For the problem the pressure here is defined with respective to fluid which is the stress at a point.

Δp = ρgh

the deepest tarzan can go h

density ρ

acceleration due to gravity g

pressure p

Δp = 85 mm hg * 133 N/m^2 = 11305 N/m^2

density ρ of water = 1000 kg / m^3

g = 9.81

<h3>How to solve for the deepest he could go</h3>

h = Δp / ρg

h = 11305 / 1000 * 9.81

h = 11305 / 9810

h = 1.152 m
