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).

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).

Giardia is one of the most common intestinal parasites worldwide, and infects up to 20% of the world population, mostly in poorer countries with inadequate sanitation. Infections are most common in children, though chronic Giardia is more common in adults.
