Question

How does the liquid pressure on a diver change if :
(i) the diver moves to greater depth ?
(ii) the diver moves horizontally under sea ?

Answer 1

(i) Pressure increases

(ii) Pressure remains same

Explanation:

(i) the diver moves to greater depth.

The pressure of water increases with depth. So when a diver moves to greater depth, the volume of water above him increases and it proportionally increases the pressure exerted by the water on the diver. So pressure increases as diver moves to greater depths in the water.

(ii) the diver moves horizontally under sea

The pressure of water increases with depth. At the same depth, pressure will be the same at all points on the horizontal level of the same depth. So when the diver is moving horizontally under sea, the depth does not change. He remains in the same horizontal depth, so the pressure remains the same.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

(i) Pressure increases

(ii) Pressure remains same
