Answer 1

To find the rate of increase in water pressure in atm/km, we need to convert the given rate from atm/m to atm/km.

Given:

Rate of increase in water pressure = 0.992 atm/m

To convert atm/m to atm/km, we can use the fact that there are 1000 meters in a kilometer.

Therefore, the conversion factor is:

1 km = 1000 m

Now, let's convert the rate from atm/m to atm/km:

0.992 atm/m * (1 km / 1000 m)

Simplifying, we get:

0.992 atm/m * 1/1000 km/m = 0.000992 atm/km

So, the rate of increase in water pressure is 0.000992 atm/km.
