If you dive underwater, you notice an uncomfortable pressure on your eardrum due to the increased pressure. The human eardrum has an area of about 70 mm², and it can sustain a force of about 7 N without rupturing. What is the maximum depth you could dive without rupturing your eardrum? (Pwater = 1000 kg/m³)

Study Notes
Fluids Part I
- Fluids are substances that flow, taking the shape of their container. Fluids include liquids and gases.
- Gases are compressible, meaning their volume can change easily due to their molecules being far apart with weak bonds.
- Liquids are incompressible, their molecules are close together with strong bonds making their volume largely constant.
- Mass density is the ratio of mass to volume. Its SI unit is kg/m³.
- Gases have lower densities than liquids and solids because their molecules are further apart.
- The pressure at a given point in a fluid is the ratio of the force to the area on which the force is exerted. (P=F/A).
- The SI unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa), defined as 1 N/m².
- Fluid pressure pushes on all parts of the fluid and the container walls.
- Pressure in a fluid increases with depth. This pressure is called hydrostatic pressure.
- The hydrostatic pressure equation: p = po + pgd, where p is pressure at depth, po is atmospheric pressure, ρ (rho) is density of the fluid, g is acceleration due to gravity, and d is depth.
- In hydrostatic equilibrium, pressure is the same at all points on a horizontal line within a connected fluid.
- Pascal's principle states that if the pressure at one point in an incompressible fluid is changed, the pressure at every other point in the fluid changes by the same amount.
