Question

Since water is much denser than air, deep-sea divers experience a much higher ambient pressure underwater. Each 10 meters of depth underwater adds another 1 atm to the ambient pressure experienced by the diver. (Note: this is in addition to the 1 atm ambient pressure at the surface of the water!) What pressure, in psi, is experienced by a diver 50.0 meters below the surface of the water

Answer 1

Answer:

If you are at sea level, each square inch of your surface is subjected to a force of 14.6 pounds. The pressure increases about one atmosphere for every 10 meters of water depth. At a depth of 5,000 meters the pressure will be approximately 500 atmospheres or 500 times greater than the pressure at sea level.
