What is the absolute pressure on a swimmer `10 m` below the surface of a lake? Take atmospheric pressure `1xx10^(5)N//m^(2)`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the absolute pressure on a swimmer 10 meters below the surface of a lake, we can use the formula for total pressure at a depth in a fluid: \[ P = P_0 + \rho g h \] where: - \( P \) is the absolute pressure at depth, - \( P_0 \) is the atmospheric pressure, - \( \rho \) is the density of the fluid (water in this case), ...
