Question
(67)The Mariana trench is located in the floor of the Pacific Ocean at a depth of about 11300 m below the surface of the water. The density of seawater is 1025 kg/m3.
(a) If an underwater vehicle were to explore such a depth, what force would the water exert on the vehicle's observation window (radius = 0.14 m)?
Explanation / Answer
Here is an answer to just one question, I chose the longest one and the most difficult one for you. Number 70.
Since you are only allowed to ask one question per post, I can only answer one question per post. Here is the solution for number 70...
Since the density of water is 1000 kg/m^3 and we have 6.50 X 10^5 kg of water in the sphere, we can find the diameter of the sphere.
Density = m/V
1000 = 6.50 X 10^5/V
V = 650 m^3
Volume of a sphere is 4/3pir^3
650 = 4/3(pi)(r^3)
r = 5.37 m
The diameter = 2r = 10.75 m
Thus the height of the water from the top of the tower to ground = 10.75 + 15 = 25.75 m
The pressure = pgh
At faucet A, Pressure = (1000)(9.8)(25.75) = 2.52 X 10^5 Pa
At faucet B, Pressure = (1000)(9.8)(25.75 - 7.5) = 1.79 X 10^5 Pa
