Question: A diver dives from a 3 m board into a 4 m deep pool. If the volume of her lungs is initially 4 . 2

A diver dives from a 3m board into a 4 m deep pool. If the volume of her lungs is
initially 4.2 litres, and she reaches the bottom of the pool, what is the volume and
temperature of the air in her lungs at that point? Assume that the process occurs
adiabatically and that the initial temperature and pressure are 20C and 105 Pa.
Recall that the pressure at depth h in a fluid of density is gh (in addition to
atmospheric pressure). For air at room temperature: air =7/5.
