Question

One person is in a pool and is diving to a depth of 2.3m, and another person is diving to a depth of 3m. What pressure does each person receive?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The static pressure is P = ρgh, where ρ is the density of the fluid and h is the depth.

For the first person:

P = (1000 kg/m³) (9.8 m/s²) (2.3 m)

P = 22,500 Pa

For the second person:

P = (1000 kg/m³) (9.8 m/s²) (3 m)

P = 29,400 Pa
