Question

Deep-sea divers wear special suits.

Answer 1

1. Deep-sea divers wear specially designed suits before diving into the sea.
2. This is because, in deep waters, the column of water above the diver exerts pressure.
3. The pressure ($P$) is very high due to the weight and depth of water above the diver up to the surface.
4. As,$P=\rho gh$,where $\rho$is the density of water and $h$is the height of water column or depth and $g$is the acceleration due to gravity.

Hence, diving suits are required to enable divers to withstand these pressures and swim comfortably.
