The density of the atmosphere is $1.29 \ kg/m^3$. If the atmospheric pressure is $1.013 \times 10^5 \ Pa$,how high would the atmosphere extend if the density were uniform? $(g = 9.81 \ m/s^2)$

$A$ 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 $= 10 \, m/s^2$).
