What is the pressure on a swimmer $20 \,m$ below the surface of water is ..... $atm$
A
$1$
B
$2$
C
$3$
D
$4$
Solution
(c)
Let atmospheric pressure $= P _3=1.05 \times 10^5\,Pa$
Pressure $20\, m$ below surface of lake
$P = P _0+\rho gh$
$=1.05 \times 10^5+1000 \times 9.8 \times 20$
$=3.01 \times 10^5 Pa \left(\rho \rightarrow \text { water density }=1000 kg / m ^3\right)$
$=3\,atm$
