Pressure in a Fluid

When an air bubble rises from the bottom of lake to the surface, its radius is doubled. The atmospheric pressure is equal to that of a column of water of height ' HH '. The depth of the lake is

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) 7 H.
