Q1

The diagram below shows an unusually shaped container. 

The container has four vertical tubes of different shape and size.

A person swims from a depth of 0.50 m to a depth of 1.70 m below the surface of the sea. 

density of the sea water = 1030 kg/m3 

gravitational field strength = 9.8 N/kg 

Calculate the increase in pressure on the swimmer. 

Give the unit. Use an equation from the Physics Equation Sheet.

    Increase in depth = 1.2 m

    Change in pressure,
    Δp = 1.2 × 1030 × 9.8
    Δp = 12112.8 Pa

    Final answer:
    12112.8 pascals (Pa)

  1. Increase in depth = 1.2 m

    Change in pressure,
    Δp = 1.2 × 1030 × 9.8
    Δp = 12112.8 Pa

    Final answer:
    12112.8 pascals (Pa)
