Homework Statement


At the surface, where the temperature is 27 °C, the volume of air in Dan’s diving bell is 2 metres cubed. When he descends to a depth of 10 m the pressure doubles and the temperature drops to 7 °C. What volume of air does Dan have in his diving bell now?

Homework Equations


P1 x V1/T1 = P2 x V2/T2

The Attempt at a Solution


P1= ? P2= ?
V1= 2 metres cubed V2= ?
T1= 27 °C (300 Kelvin) T2= 7 °C (280 Kelvin)


Im having trouble finding out P1 and therefore I can't find out P2 and V2!
Please help me.
Thanks

You don't need the actual pressure, just the fact that it doubles. Express P2 in terms of P1.

(Although: What's the pressure at the surface of the water?)
 

Thread 'Initial conditions for orbits around a wormhole'

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...

Thread 'Help to convert units of a simple formula'

The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
