An inflated balloon occupies a volume of two (2) liters. The balloon is tied with a string and weighted down with a heavy stone. What is its volume when it reaches the bottom of a pond 5.2 meters deep? Assume the atmospheric pressure is equal to 1 atmosphere and that one atmosphere will support a column of water 10.4 meters high.
Thank You

well u first need to find the new pressure due to the column of the fluid. They say that 1atm will support 10.4 metres thus the pressure due to the column of fluid is half that (the column of fluid in this case is 5.2m). Thus the pressure due the the water will be 0.5 atm.
That is NOT the only pressure acting on the ballon. Atm pressure still acts
thus P = pressure due to fluid + atm
= 1atm + 0.5 atn#
= 1.5 atm
put that into
P1 * V1 = P2 * V2
Do the math and tell me what u get

P1*V1=P2*V2
input the numbers and do the math
