Explanation:
36 cm = 0.36 m
15 cm = 0.15 m
a) We can start by calculating the air-water pressure of the bucket submerged 20m below the water surface:
Suppose air is ideal gas, then if the temperature stays the same, the product of its pressure and volume stays the same
Where P1 = 1.105 Pa is the atmospheric pressure, V_1 is the air volume in the bucket on the suface:
As the pressure increases, the air inside the bucket shrinks. But the crossection area stays constant, so only h, the height of air, decreases:
b) If the temperatures changes, we can still reuse the ideal gas equation above:
