Problem

A deep-sea diver notes that the gauge on his pressure suit reads

2.19 \times 10^{5}\,\text{Pa}

at one depth, where the absolute pressure is

3.20 \times 10^{5}\,\text{Pa}

. He then descends until the gauge reads

4.90 \times 10^{5}\,\text{Pa}

. Assuming seawater density

1.03 \times 10^{3}\,\text{kg}\,\text{m}^{-3}

and

g = 9.8\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-2}

, determine the additional depth through which he has descended. (a)

49\,\text{m}

(b)

21\,\text{m}

(c)

27\,\text{m}

(d)

39\,\text{m}
