Calculate the pressure exerted by water on a scuba diver who is swimming at a depth of 10 m below the water surface.

What will be an ideal response?


P = pgh
???? = (1000 kg/m^3)(9.81 m/s)(10 m) = 98.1 kPa
The absolute pressure exerted by water on a scuba diver is:
???? = ????gage + ????atm. = 98.1 kPa + 101.3 kPa = 199.4 kPa
