Explain why you cannot make a decent cup of tea on a mountain.
(N/A) The air on a mountain is thin,which means the atmospheric pressure is lower than at sea level.
According to the principles of fluid mechanics,the boiling point of a liquid decreases as the external pressure decreases.
At high altitudes,water boils at a temperature significantly lower than $100^{\circ} C$.
Because the water boils at this lower temperature,it does not provide enough heat to properly extract the flavor from the tea leaves,resulting in a poor-quality cup of tea.

$A$ submarine experiences a pressure of $5.05 \times 10^6 \, Pa$ at a depth of $d_1$ in a sea. When it goes further to a depth of $d_2,$ it experiences a pressure of $8.08 \times 10^6 \, Pa.$ Then $d_2 - d_1$ is approximately ........ $m$ (density of water $= 10^3 \, kg/m^3$ and acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \, m/s^2$).
