Pressure Units
7. Gases / Pressure Units / Problem 4
A scuba diver is 15 m deep underwater. Given that the atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa and assuming that the density of water is 1.00×103 kg/m3, calculate the pressure (atm) exerted on the body of the diver. [Useful information: g = 9.81 m/s2 and 1 Pa = 1 kg/ms2]
