Question

The pressure $P_1$ at a certain depth in river water and$P_2$ at the same depth in sea water are related as:

• A. $P_1$> $P_2$
• B. $P_1$=$P_2$
• C. $P_1$<$P_2$
• D. $P_1$- $P_2$ = atmospheric pressure

Answer 1

The correct option is C $P_1$<$P_2$

The pressure at a certain depth in sea water is more than at the same depth in river water because the density of sea water is more than the density of river water.
