Question
Given: A person is diving in a lake in the depth of h = 8.5 m. The density of the water is ρ = 1.0 x103 kg/m3. The pressure of the atmosphere is P0 = 1.0 x 105 Pa. The surface area of the top of the person's head is A = 0.0485 m2
Express the absolute pressure at the depth of h, P, in terms of P0, ρ, and h.
Calculate the numerical value of P in Pa
Express the magnitude of the force exerted by water on the top of the person's head F at the depth h in terms of P and A.
