Pressure in a Fluid

When a large bubble rises from bottom of a water lake to its surface, then its radius doubles. If the atmospheric pressure is equal to the pressure of height HH of a certain water column, then the depth of lake will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Radius doubles, so volume becomes 8 times. Boyle's law: P1V=P2(8V)P_1V = P_2(8V).
  2. In water-column units: H+h=8HH + h = 8H
  3. h=7Hh = 7H
  4. So the answer is (c) 7H.
