Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A diver descends 30 meters in water. Calculate the increase in pressure they experience compared to the surface. (Use ρ = 1000 kg/m³ and g = 9.81 m/s².)

💡 Hint: Remember to use the formula P = ρgh for calculating pressure change.

Question 2

Discuss the design considerations for a dam based on the variation of pressure with depth. Provide examples of how pressure influences structural choices.

💡 Hint: Consider what happens to structures under various loads and the reasons for safety factors.
