What is the external-internal pressure difference when the diver's lungs are at a depth of hh =5.6 mm (about 18 ftft )? Assume that the diver is in fresh water. (A scuba diver breathing from compressed air tanks can operate at greater depths than can a snorkeler, since the pressure of the air inside the scuba diver's lungs increases to match the external pressure of the water.)
