Homework Statement


At what depth a lake surface is the total pressure 3 times the normal atmospheric pressure?

Homework Equations



P=pgh this is the equation for liquid pressure.

About total pressure we should add also the atmospheric pressure which is pushing from above the surface of the liquid.

The Attempt at a Solution


Pl + Patm=pgh
so, 300kPa=1000kg/m3*10m/s2*h... the answer is 30m, but in the answer key is 20m.

Thread 'Number of quantum accessible states of a particle given T, N?'

It's given a gas of particles all identical which has T fixed and spin S. Let's ##g(\epsilon)## the density of orbital states and ##g(\epsilon) = g_0## for ##\forall \epsilon \in [\epsilon_0, \epsilon_1]##, zero otherwise. How to compute the number of accessible quantum states of one particle? This is my attempt, and I suspect that is not good. Let S=0 and then bosons in a system. Simply, if we have the density of orbitals we have to integrate ##g(\epsilon)## and we have...
