A diver is 5.2m below the surface of water of density 1000Kgm-3. If the atmospheric pressure is 1.02 x 105pa. Calculate the pressure on the diver [g = 10ms-2]
-
A.
6.20 x 104 pa -
B.
1.02 x 105 pa -
C.
1.54 x 105 pa -
D.
5.20 x 105 pa
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
P = hpg + A.P
= 5.2 x 1000 x 10 + 1.02 x 105
= 1.54 x 105
