Answer to Q.6.
6. How much pressure will be felt by a gas balloon which at 100 m depth in a sea form sea level.
[Pressure at ground level = 10 5   P a ,   g = 9 . 8   m / s 2 ]
(A) 100 Pa
(B) 98 Pa
(C) 9 . 8 × 10 5 Pa
(D) 1 . 08 × 10 6 Pa

Dear Student

Pressure at ground level, Pg = 105 Pa
g= 9.8 m/s2 

Therefore, pressure of the gas balloon at depth 100 m, P = hdg

where, h = depth;    d = density;          g = acceleration due to gravity

We know, Density of sea water = 1.03 x 103 kg/m3

Thus, P = 100 m x 1.03 x 103 kg/m3 x 9.8 m/s2 = 10.094 x 105 kg/ m s2 = 1.0094 x 106 Pa or 1.08 x 106 Pa

So, the correct option is (d)
