A basketball is pressurized to a gauge pressure
of PG = 65 kPa when at the
surface of a swimming pool. (Patm = 101
kPa). The ball is then submerged in the pool of water which has a
density ρ = 1000 kg/m3. Assume the
ball does not change in mass, temperature, or volume as it is
submerged.
At what depth, in meters, would the pressure difference between
the inside and outside of the ball be zero if the ball were
submerged in mercury (ρ = 13,500 kg/m3) instead of in
water?
