What is the pressure on a swimmer 10m below the surface of a lake?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here
h=10m and `p=1000 kg m^-3` take `g=10 ms^-2`
`P=P_a+pgh`
`=1.01 times 10^5 Pa+1000 kg m^-3 times 10 ms^-2 times 10m`
`approx 2 atm`
This is a 100% increase in pressure from surface level. At a depth of 1km, the increase in pressure is 100 atm Submarines are designed to withstand such enormous pressures.

What is the pressure inside the drop of mercury of radius 3.00mm at room temperature? Surface tension of mercury at that temperature (20^@C) is 4.65 times 10^-1 N m^-1 . The atmospheric pressure is 1.01 times 10^5 Pa . Also give the excess pressure inside the drop.

Consider an air bubble of radius 2 mm in a liquid at a depth of 5 cm below the free surface. The density of the liquid is 1000 kg//m ^(3) and the surface tension is 0.1N//m. Then, find the pressure inside the air bubble is greater than the pressure at the free surface of the liquid. (Take , h = 10 m //s^(2))

When an air bubble of radius r rises from the bottom (the to the surface of a lake. Its radius becomes (5r)/4 pressure of the atmosphere is equal to the 10 m height of water column). If the temperature is constant and the surface tension is neglected the depth of the lake is

The pressure in air bubble just below the water surface is (Surface tension of water is 72 dyne cm^(-3) and atmospheric pressure 1 xx 10^5 Nm^(-2) ,Radius of bubble = 0.1mm)
