Question

calculate the pressure by sea water when diving to a depth of 100m.what is the pressure acting on the diver?​

Answer 1

P = 981000 [Pa] or 98.1 [kPa]

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the pressure at that depth we can use the following expression that defines the static pressure of a fluid as a function of the density and depth of the body with respect to the surface of the liquid.

`P=Ro*g*h`

where:

P = pressure [Pa]

Ro = density of the water = 1000 [kg/m³]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

h = depth = 100 [m]

`P = 1000*9.81*100\\P = 981000 [Pa]`
