Question

Q4: If you dive under water, you notice an uncomfortable pressure on your eardrum due to the increased pressure. The human eardrum has an area of about 70 mm^2, and it can sustain a force of about 7 N without rupturing. If your body had no means of balancing the extra pressure, what would be the maximum depth you could dive without rupturing your eardrum? A. 0.3 m B. 1 m C. 3 m D. 10 m

Step 1

Step 1:** Calculate the pressure on the eardrum using the formula: \[ P = \rho \cdot g \cdot h \] where: - \( P \) is the pressure on the eardrum - \( \rho \) is the density of water (1000 kg/m^3 for fresh water) - \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity (10 Show more…
