Based on your answer from Question #2, how would pressure at depth change from a lake to an ocean?
While diving with a friend, you note that the water pressure at your current depth is 130,000 pascals. If you swim down another 4 meters, what is the water pressure?
Calculate the pressure below a sea level by a distance 10 m (consider theatmospheric pressure = 105 Pa and the density of the water = 1000 kg/m3,and the acceleration of gravity g=10 m/s2).
