Answer to Problem 117A

The function of scuba diving regulator is to decrease the pressure of air in the air tank according to the requirement.

Explanation of Solution

The reduction of air pressure is done in two stages:

First stage:

At first stage, pressure of air is reduced to intermediate pressure and released into a hose which shifts into second stage.

Second stage:

At second stage, pressure of air is reduced to ambient pressure so that diver can breathe comfortably. It also allows air to flow to the mouth only when the diver inhales.

Conclusion

Thus, the function of regulator is to decrease the pressure of air in the air tank in the scuba diving as per the requirement.
