Salt water is more dense than fresh water. The added density adds pressure, so the pressure will be greater at the same depth in salt water. This is also the cause of the increase of buoyancy in saltwater.

Where is the pressure greater . in 10 m below the surface of the sea or 20 m below the surface of the sea?

The pressure is greater at 20 m below the surface of the sea. Pressure increases with depth due to the weight of the water above. Each additional meter of depth adds more pressure, so the pressure will be higher at 20 m compared to 10 m below the surface.


Relationship between liquid pressure and depth?

The pressure in a liquid increases with depth due to the weight of the liquid above pushing down. This is known as hydrostatic pressure and is given by the equation P = ρgh, where P is the pressure, ρ is the density of the liquid, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the depth of the liquid.


When swimming under water pressure becomes greater?

Yes, as you swim deeper underwater, the pressure increases due to the weight of the water above you. This increase in pressure can affect your body, especially your ears and sinuses, and may require equalizing techniques to prevent discomfort or injury.


Where is water pressure greater at depth of 1 m in a large lake or at a depth of 2 m in a small pond?

The water pressure would be greater at a depth of 2 m in a small pond because the weight of the water above is greater in the pond compared to the lake. The pressure increases with depth as the weight of the water column above applies more force.


Why is the pressure at the bottom of an object in fluid greater than the pressure at the top of the object?

because of the height, as you go down further in depth the greater the pressure. imagine when you at a greater depth the greater amount of fluid you have to endure. the pressure would be the same everywhere at the same depth in fluid but the force on the object would depend on the area of the object.

Where wil you experience greater pressure swimming pool or swimming at the sea with the same depth?

At the same depth the pressure is greater at sea because salt water is denser than fresh water.


Where will you experience greater pressure swimming in the sea or swimming in the pool at the same depth?

if you are swimming at the same depth the pressure will be the same. Depth affects pressure directly proportionally. That is if you swim deeper the pressure will become greater. If you swim up the pressure will become less. The size of the body of water does not affect pressure. Think of it this way, the further down you swim the more your ears hurt. they hurt because of the increase in pressure.


Is the pressure at a depth of two feet in a large lake greater than the pressure at the same depth in a swimming pool?

No. The pressure depends on the depth, and on the density of the liquid, which is presumably more or less the same in this case.


Why does fluid Pressure change with the elevation and depth?

At a greater depth, the weight of all the liquid (or gas) above adds to the pressure.

How much pressure does a diver experience at 30 meters depth in salt water?

At 30 meters depth in salt water, a diver will experience a pressure of approximately 4 atmospheres or 4 times the pressure at the surface. This is because water exerts 1 atmosphere of pressure for every 10 meters of depth.


Do you experience more pressure when you swim on the surface of water or under the surface?

Of course when you swim under the surface of the water. The lower you go in the water, the greater the pressure. That's why divers have gauges with them to determine their depth or to know how deep they are in the ocean.


How deep would you need to dive to experience a pressure of 2 ATM What would be the pressure at a depth of 100 m?

To experience a pressure of 2 ATM, you would need to dive to a depth of 20 meters (2 ATM = 1 ATM (surface) + 1 ATM (pressure at 10 meters depth)). At a depth of 100 meters, the pressure would be approximately 11 ATM (1 ATM at surface + 1 ATM for every 10 meters).
