Step 1
Pressure is defined as the force exerted per unit area. In this case, we are comparing the pressure at point A and point B. Now, let's analyze the situation. The boat is resting in the body of water, which means it is displacing some water. According to Show more…

Water flows through a pipe. The diameter of the pipe at point B is larger than at point A. Where is the water pressure greater, at point A, point B, or is there insufficient information? It is the same at both points A and B.

At the surface of the ocean, the water pressure is the same as the air pressure above the water, 15 $\mathrm{Ib} / \mathrm{in}^{2}$ . Below the surface, the water pressure increases by 4.34 $\mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{in}^{2}$ for every 10 $\mathrm{ft}$ of descent. (a) Express the water pressure as a function of the depth below the ocean surface. (b) At what depth is the pressure 100 $\mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{in}^{2} ?$
