If the atmospheric pressure is 76cm of mercury at what depth of water the pressure will become 4 atmospheres?

a
31m
b
21 m
c
11 m
d
9 m

detailed solution

Correct option is A

76 cm of Hg is 1 atm=1.013×105 Pah is the depth where total pressure is 4 atmP-P0=hdwg 4-1×1.013×105=hdwgh=3×1.013×1051000×9.8=31m[ total pressure at any depth h is (H + h) dg H→atm. pressure]
