As a swimmer dives deeper and deeper, strictly speaking, the volume of water displaced by the swimmer actually A) decreases B) remains unchanged but pressure on her increases C) increases D) none of the above
Consider a fish swimming $5 \mathrm{m}$ below the free surface of water. The increase in the pressure exerted on the fish when it dives to a depth of $25 \mathrm{m}$ below the free surface is $(a) 196 \mathrm{Pa}$ $(b) 5400 \mathrm{Pa}$ $(c) 30,000 \mathrm{Pa}$ $(d) 196,000 \mathrm{Pa}$ $(e) 294,000 \mathrm{Pa}$
