From the Physics Section of the PADI Dive Theory Exam:
If an air filled balloon is taken to a depth of 20m/66ft, what is the approximate partial pressure of nitrogen in the balloon?
a. .8 ATA/12 psi
b. 1.6 ATA/23 psi
c. 2.4 ATA/35 psi
d. The answer cannot be determined from the information given.
I will post a daily question from my exams to help newer divers and to encourage more experienced divers to interact gracefully and helpfully with the newer divers.
Reminder - this is a post in the Basic Forum and it is a green zone. Please be nice and on topic.
Thank you for your patience while we try to give people something to discuss other than Covid-19 and/or Politics. I will post the answer covered by the spoiler tag later today.
