Solution

A diving suit is designed in a way to protect the body from external pressure of water. As the depth increases, the pressure also increases. The suit also helps in maintaining the body-temperature of the diver and facilitates oxygen supply for breathing. The buoyant force does not decrease by the use of suit rather it increases marginally due to added volume of the suit.

A deep sea diver jumps into a sea in search of a ship wreck located below the sea level. The suit of the diver helps him maintain his body pressure at the normal atmospheric pressure. This suit can sustain a maximum pressure of 6 atm. The density of sea water is 1.03 × 10³ kg m⁻³

With reference to sea pressure, the diver can safely reach the maximum depth of about
