Question

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO BEST AND MOST THOROUGH ANSWER!

Answer 1

At 100 feet, the diver is under about 4 atmospheres pressure. If she is free diving, her lungs will be compressed to about 1/4 their size on the surface (with some movement of the major abdominal organs). If she is scuba diving, the air which she is breathing is also at 4 atmospheres and there is no problem. (The non-gas spaces in the body are not-compressible and are unaffected.) The only problems she has to concern herself with are the beginnings to nitrogen narcosis and the nitrogen which is dissolving (Henry's law) into her body tissues. On the way up, she also has to remember that the air in her lungs will expand by a factor of 4 and she better exhale! Hope this helps you
