Problem

A diver’s gauge shows a pressure of

2.45\times10^5\,\text{Pa}

at a certain point under freshwater. If atmospheric pressure is

1.01\times10^5\,\text{Pa}

, find the approximate depth of the diver. (Take

\rho_{\text{water}} = 1000\,\text{kg\,m}^{-3}

and

g = 9.8\,\text{m\,s}^{-2}

.) a)
