The water pressure on Mustafa as he dives is increasing at a rate of 0.992 atmospheres (atm) per meter (m)

What is the rate of increase in water pressure in atm/km?

1 answer

To find the rate of increase in water pressure in atm/km, we first need to convert the rate from atm/m to atm/km.

Given rate of increase: 0.992 atm/m

To convert from meters to kilometers, we need to divide by 1000 (since 1 km = 1000 m)

0.992 atm/m / 1000 = 0.000992 atm/m

Therefore, the rate of increase in water pressure in atm/km is 0.000992 atm/km.
