Question

A swimming pool is 4.0 m in depth; a swimmer at this depth feels discomfort in the ear. Calculate the net force on a 0.50-cm-diameter eardrum, assuming the inner surface of the eardrum remains at 1 atm pressure

Answer 1

The net force on a 0.50-cm-diameter eardrum is mathematically given as

F= 0.76969 N

What is the net force on a 0.50-cm-diameter eardrum?

Generally, the equation for Pressure is  mathematically given as

P = ρgh

Therefore

P= 1000*9.8*4

P= 39200 Pa

Where

A= pi*(0.005/2)^2

Generally, the equation for Net force is  mathematically given as

F = PA

F= 39200 *( pi*(0.005/2)^2)

F= 0.76969 N

In conclusion, The net force is

F= 0.76969 N
