What is the expected pressure of air in lungs of a diver at 4 meters below the sea level?

Air pressure (at sea level) is about 1 bar; every 10 meters below the water surface, pressure increases by about 1 bar - that gives a total of 1 + 0.4 = 1.4 bar. (1 bar is about 1 atmosphere.)

What part of a diver's body might be hurt during a deep dive and why is this so?
During the deep dive the divers body goes through immense pressure. The atmospheric pressure in the deep as one goes more deep it increases so the lungs of the diver has to do more work and also that if the diver comes up on surface faster ten the rate he went down then the helim would be formed in the lungs of diver which can be lethal.
After the diver jumps forward from the diving board the force of gravity will accelerate the diver parallel to the direction of motion?
No. It will accelerate the diver downward only.
How does pascals principle help explain the behavior of the cartesian diver?
Because when force is applied to a confined fluid, the change in pressure is transmitted equally to all parts of the fluid.
Who will hear the sound of an approaching boat first this diver or his friend above the water?
The diver
Will a sky diver with a greater mass accelerate faster that a sky diver with less mass?
Yes
What allows a diver to work below 300 meters?
six times six is 36
If A scuba diver jumps from the deck of a boat 1.5 meters above sea level and touches the sea floor 3 meters below sea level How far below the deck is the sea floor?
4.5 metres
How is decompression sickness related to pressure?
Divers breathing compressed gases at depth are themselves under pressure. For each 33 feet/10 meters that a diver descends, they add approximately 1 atmosphere of pressure to their body. When they breathe gases whilst their bodies are under this pressure, the gases dissolve into their bodies tissues. When they ascend, the pressure is relieved, and gases are released. Provided that diver ascends sufficiently slowly, the gases are released slowly and no problems result. But if the diver ascends too slowly without allowing the gases to expire at a slow enough rate, then the diver will suffer decompression sickness when gas bubbles form in the diver's tissues and blood.
How deep in water is 3atm of pressure?
One atmosphere is the amount of pressure that can lift water approximately 10.3 meters.Considering that a diver already experiences 1 ATM of pressure in air, the water depth in meters d, at which the diver would experience n ATM of pressure, isd = (n - 1) * 10.3Hence, to experience 3 atmospheres of pressure, you'd need to go ((3-1) * 10.3) = 20.6 meters (67.6 feet) underwater.
How deep underwater can you go with a typical diver watch?
A typical diver watch is water resistant in depths of about 200 - 300 meters. Diver watches are made of high grade materials able to withstand the change in atmospheric pressure under water and with proper care can easily be used in salt water and fresh water applications.
How far can you go down as a commercial diver?
250 meters
Why do free-divers sink at depth?
The cartesian diver sinks because the diver wants to get to a place of low pressure
How long can a diver stay down at 17 meters in pressure group g?
It seems like you know the answer, but it is 34 minutes (from 18 meters).
What effect does the increased pressure have on the amount of gas dissolved in the diver's body fluids?
Increased pressure increases solubility of gases, so there will be more gas dissolved in the diver's bodily fluids.
How deep is 50 meters?
It is deep for a free diver and it can get dark at 50 meters deep in an ocean
How far can somebody be underwater before the pressue kills them?
The record depth for a scuba diver is 313 meters. That is probably about the limit before pressure changes when surfacing would prove fatal. A diver could probably go deeper without being killed but wouldn't get to the surface again alive.
What is the speed of a diver hitting the water from a height of ten meters?
Terminal velocity
