A large water storage container is filled to a depth of 3.0 m.The volume above the water is filled with air.In order to pump the water from the container,the air pressure in the container is increased by 3.0 $x$ 10⁵ N/m².What happens to the pressure in the water at a depth of 1.0 m when the air pressure is increased? A)Nothing,it is still at a depth of 1.0 m and the pressure in the water depends only on the depth. B)It increases by 1.0 $x$ 10⁵ N/m²,since it is at 1/3 the depth of the water. C)It increases by 2.0 $x$ 10⁵ N/m²,since it is at 2/3 the depth from the bottom of the container. D)It increases by 3.0 $x$ 10⁵ N/m². E)It increases by 3.0 $x$ 10⁵ N/m² + 9.8 $x$ 10³ N/m² since it is 1.0 m deep in the water.

When the air pressure is increased, the pressure in the water also increases by the same amount, which is 3.0 N/m². This is because the pressure in a fluid at a given depth is independent of the volume of fluid above that depth, and is only dependent on the depth itself. Therefore, the answer is D, it increases by 3.0 N/m².
