You are originally 1.0 m beneath the surface of a pool. If you dive to 2.0 m beneath the surface, what happens to the absolute pressure on you

The absolute pressure on me increases to 130,900 Pa.

Explanation:

Since I dive to a depth of 2.0 m, there is a depth change of 2.0 m which will cause a corresponding pressure change. The pressure change is thus ΔP = ρgΔh where ρ = density of water = 1000 kg/m³, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s² and Δh = depth change = 2.0 m

ΔP = ρgΔh  =  1000 kg/m³ × 9.8m/s² × 2.0 m = 19,600 Pa.

Since the absolute pressure P at 1.0 m is the pressure due to atmosphere plus the pressure of 1.0 m of water, we have

P = P₀ + ρgΔh' where P₀ = atmospheric pressure = 101,500 Pa and Δh' = 1.0 m

P = 101,500 Pa + 1000 kg/m³ × 9.8m/s² × 1.0 m = 101,500 Pa + 9800 Pa = 111,300 Pa

So, the absolute pressure at 2.0 m is P' = P + ΔP = 111,300 Pa + 19,600 Pa = 130,900 Pa.

So the absolute pressure on me increases to 130,900 Pa.

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
