Question

Would this pressure difference be greater or smaller if the scuba diver were in seawater (density 1050 kg/m3 ) and went to the same depth you calculated in question D1, took and held his breath, and then returned to the surface

Answer 1

Answer:

Greater.

Explanation:

This pressure difference will be greater if the scuba diver were in seawater and went to the same depth because the seawater have salts which increases the density of water as compared to freshwater. Salt in water increases the density which automatically increases the pressure on the diver so that's why we can say that the pressure will be increases for the scuba diver in seawater as compared to freshwater.
