One study found that the dives of emperor penguins ranged from 45 m to 265 m below the surface of the ocean.

a. Using the density of seawater, what is the range of pressures experienced by the penguins between these two depths?

b. At what depth below the surface is the pressure 10 times the normal atmospheric pressure?

11.34 - In the Challenger Deep of the Marianas Trench, the depth of seawater is 10.9 km and the pressure is 1.16 X 108 Pa (about 1.15 X 10° atm). (a) If a cubic meter of water is taken from the surface to this depth, what is the change in its volume? (Normal atmospheric pressure is about 1.0 X 10Pa. Assume that k for seawater is the same as the freshwater value given in Table 11.2.) (b) What is the density of seawater at this depth? (At the surface, seawater has a density of 1.03 X 10° kg/m”.)

If the force on the tympanic membrane (eardrum) increases by about1.50 N above the force from atmospheric pressure, the membrane canbe damaged.

When you go scuba diving in the ocean, below what depth coulddamage to your eardrum start to occur? The eardrum is typically8.20 mm in diameter. Take the density of seawater to be equal 1.03x 10^3 kg/m^3
