Question

The water pressure on Mustafa as he dives is increasing at a rate of 0.992 atmospheres per meter. what is the rate of increase in water pressure in atm/km

Answer 1

I just looked it up so there ya go!


Answer- 992 atm/km

Answer 2

`992(atm)/(km)`

Explanation:

The water pressure on Mustafa as he dives in increasing at a rate of 0.992 atmospheres per meter.

We have to calculate the ratio increase in pressure of water in atm/km

Since rate of change of pressure is in atm/meter

so we will convert meter to km.

`(atm)/(meter)=(atm)/(10^(-3)km )` [since 1 km = 1000 meter]

now
`0.992(atm)/(meter)=0.992(atm)/(10^(-3)km )`

= 0.992 × 10³
`(atm)/(km)`

=
`992(atm)/(km)`
