# The gauge pressure at a certain depth in a fluid is \( P_{gauge} \). If you dive to a depth that is twice as deep in the same fluid, what will the new gauge pressure be?

The gauge pressure at a certain depth in a fluid is \( P_{gauge} \). If you dive to a depth that is twice as deep in the same fluid, what will the new gauge pressure be?

- **A.** The same, \( P_{gauge} \)
- **B.** Half as large, \( \dfrac{P_{gauge}}{2} \)
- **C.** Twice as large, \( 2P_{gauge} \)
- **D.** Four times as large, \( 4P_{gauge} \)
