The pressure acting on a submarine is $3 \times 10^5 Pa $ at a certain depth. If the depth is doubled, the percentage increase in the pressure acting on the submarine would be:

(Assume that atmospheric pressure is $1 \times 10^5 Pa$, density of water is $10^3 kgm^{-3}$, $g=10 ms^{-2}$)

(A) $\frac {3}{200} $%
(B) $\frac {5}{200} $%
(C) $\frac {200}{3} $%
(D) $\frac {200}{5} $% Continue reading The pressure acting on a submarine is $3 \times 10^5 Pa $ ….
