The pressure acting on a submarine is $3 \times 10^{5} \; Pa$ at a certain depth. If the depth is doubled,the percentage increase in the pressure acting on the submarine would be: (Assume that atmospheric pressure is $1 \times 10^{5} \; Pa$,density of water is $10^{3} \; kg \; m^{-3}$,and $g = 10 \; m \; s^{-2}$)

The pressure at the bottom of a tank containing a liquid does not depend on

Consider the wall of a dam to be straight with height $H$ and length $L$. It holds a lake of water of height $h$ $(h < H)$ on one side. Let the density of water be $\rho_w$. Denote the torque about the axis along the bottom length of the wall by $\tau_1$. Denote also a similar torque due to the water up to height $h/2$ and wall length $L/2$ by $\tau_2$. Then $\tau_1 / \tau_2$ (ignore atmospheric pressure) is
