Two divers G and H are at depths 20m and 40m respectively below the water surface in a lake. The pressure on G is P₁ while the pressure on H is P₂. If the atmospheric pressure is equivalent to 10m of water, then the value of $ \frac{p_2}{p_1} $ is

0.50

0.60

1.67

2.00

3.0

Answer Details

pressure at H = 40m ; pressure at G, p1 = 20m

$\frac{p_{1}}{p_{1}}$ = $\frac{40}{20}$
