QUESTION:

Problem 11CQ

One day, while snorkeling near the surface of a crystal-clear ocean, it occurs to you that you could go considerably deeper by simply lengthening the snorkel tube. Unfortunately, this does not work well at all. Why?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

The problem is that as you go deeper in the water, the pressure pushing against your chest and lungs increases rapidly. Even if the snorkel has a long tube, it will be difficult to expand your lungs to take some breath.
