Problem

The density of fresh water is 1000 kg m−31000\,\text{kg}\,\text{m}^{-3} at 5∘C5^{\circ}\text{C} and 994 kg m−3994\,\text{kg}\,\text{m}^{-3} at 35∘C35^{\circ}\text{C}. A pressure gauge on a diving bell reads 2.06×105 Pa2.06\times10^{5}\,\text{Pa} (gauge) when the bell is at a certain depth in water at 5∘C5^{\circ}\text{C}. If the bell is taken to the same depth when the water temperature is 35∘C35^{\circ}\text{C}, what gauge pressure will the instrument indicate? (Take g=9.8 m s−2g = 9.8\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-2}.)
