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(Hh) + ρWgh.

Melanie, because the pressure equals p = ρWgHρcg(Hh).

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made. The mixture of cocaine, saliva, and resin numbed the site enough to allow hours of drilling.
