hi, we got this question in a fluid mechanics MCQ : how deep does a swimmer need to go for the pressure exerted on her to double from 1.0 atm experienced at the surface to 2.0 atm? take the density of seawater to be 1050 kg/m^3, and 1 atm= 1.0 × 10^5 pascals. I used P=Po(atmospheric pressure in Pa) +density×gravity(9.81) ×depth, substituted P by 2xPo in Pa and g by 9.81, and rearranged to solve for the depth, for which I obtained 9.708 meters. however, the teacher's answer was 10.3 meters. Can someone please explain where my error is? Thanks in advance.
