Its diameter is 3.60 mm at the bottom and 4.00 mm at the surface. The depth of the lake is 2.50 m, and the temperature at the surface is 40.0C. What is the temperature at the bottom of the lake? Consider the atmospheric pressure to be 1.01 105 Pa and the density of water to be 1.00 103 kg/m3. Model the air as an ideal gas. 53. Use the ideal gas law for the bottom (point 1) and the surface (point 2) of the lake. At the surface, the pressure is atmospheric pressure. However, at the bottom it is equal to to the sum of the atmospheric pressure and the pressure due to 2.50 m column of water.
