An eardrum can burst when the pressure exceeds one atmosphere and the pressure inside the ear fails to equalize. Determine the depth in seawater when this pressure would be reached.

Question

(pressure of ocean = 1.03*10^3 kg/m^3)

Answer 1

Well, at the depth of seawater above weights enough to give a pressure of 101.3kpa

Water pressure= densityseawater*depth*9.8N/kg=101.3kPa
