The pressure in a fluid increases with depth, with the deeper diver experiencing higher hydrostatic pressure in seawater.
The pressure in a fluid increases with depth due to the weight of the fluid above. This pressure is given by the formula: P = \rho \cdot g \cdot h, where P is the pressure, \rho is the density of the fluid, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the depth.
Comparing two divers at different depths in seawater, the one at greater depth experiences higher pressure. In this case, the diver at 4 meters depth will support greater hydrostatic pressure than the one at 2.5 meters depth due to being deeper in the water.
To calculate the pressure at each diver's depth, the formula P = \rho \cdot g \cdot h can be applied using the given density of seawater (1,020 kg/m³). The diver at 4 meters depth will experience a higher pressure as pressure increases linearly with depth.
