Melanie says that when a diver enters an underwater cave of height h, the pressure on her is no greater than ρWgh. Rosalind says that if the bottom of the cave is a distance H below the water surface, the pressure on the soles of the diver's feet can reach ρWgH. Which one, if either, is correct? (The density of water is ρW.)

◦
Melanie, because the roof of the cave absorbs the water pressure from above.

◦
Melanie, because only the fluid directly above any volume of the fluid can contribute to the pressure on that volume.

◦
Rosalind, because a fluid exerts equal pressure in all directions at a given depth.

◦
Rosalind, because the pressure also depends on the density, ρc, of the material above the cave roof, so that p = ρcg(H−h) + ρWgh.

◦
Melanie, because the pressure equals p = ρWgH−ρcg(H−h).

Complications of influenza include: bacterial pneumonia, ear and sinus infections, dehydration, and worsening of chronic conditions such as asthma, congestive heart failure, or diabetes.

Did you know?

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
