Question

A submarine experiences a pressure of 5.05×106 Pa at depth of d1 in a sea. When it goes further to a depth of d2, it experiences a pressure of 8.08 ×106 Pa. Then d2d1 is approximately

(density of water =103 kg/m3 and acceleration due to gravity =10 ms2)

Solution

The correct option is D 300 m
Given:
Pressure at depth of (d1), P1=5.05×106 Pa
Pressure at depth of (d2), P2=8.08 ×106 Pa.
Density of water =103 kg/m3

Now, absolute pressure at some depth in sea,
P1=P0+ρgd1
P2=P0+ρgd2
Pressure difference,

ΔP=P2P1=ρg(d2d1)=ρgΔd

3.03×106=103×10×Δd

Δd300 m

Hence option (A) is correct.
