Given information

Given values:

Tarzan can withstand a pressure difference of up to .

Formula used:

Where is gravity's acceleration and is the density of water, the height and pressure differential are connected as follows.

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

When an object is submerged in water, hydrostatic pressure is exerted on it from all sides. The pressure placed by the water on a diver's lungs is known as hydrostatic pressure, and the inside pressure is equivalent to atmospheric pressure when he or she enters the water. The diver's depth is limited when the hydrostatic pressure surpasses the limiting value of crushing pressure, which is why the diver's depth is limited.
