Pearl divers can dive into the sea to a depth of 20 m and find the hydrostatic pressure at that depth.

The given tasks: h (the depth to which the pearl divers descend) = 20 m.

Reference values: ρm.v. (density of water in the sea) = 1030 kg / m3; g (acceleration due to gravity) ≈ 10 m / s2.

The hydrostatic pressure experienced by pearl divers at a depth of 20 m is determined by the formula: P = ρm.v. * g * h.

Let’s calculate: P = 1030 * 10 * 20 = 206 * 10 ^ 3 Pa = 206 kPa.

Answer: At a depth of 20 m, the pearl divers will be exposed to a hydrostatic pressure of 206 kPa.
