Chapter 14: Q13P (page 407)

At a depth of 10.9 km, the Challenger Deep in the Marianas Trench of the Pacific Ocean is the deepest site in any ocean. Yet, in 1960, Donald Walsh and Jacques Piccard reached the Challenger Deep in the bathyscaph Trieste. Assuming that seawater has a uniform density of1024kg/m3, approximate the hydrostatic pressure (in atmospheres) that the Trieste had to withstand. (Even a slight defect in the Trieste structure would have been disastrous.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

Hydrostatic pressure in atmospheres is1.08脳103atm

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  • Density of seawater,p=1024kg/m3
  • Depth,h=10.9kmor10.9脳103m
02

Understanding the concept of hydrostatic pressure

To solve for pressure, we can use the formula for hydrostatic pressure difference, which depends on density and height. Hydrostatic pressure is that, which is exerted by a fluid at any point of time at equilibrium due to the force applied by gravity.

Formula:

Pressure applied on a fluid surface, p = pgh (i)

03

Calculation of hydrostatic pressure in atmospheres

Using equation (i) and the given values, the pressure can be written as:

p=1024kg/m3脳9.8m/s2脳10.9脳103mp=1.09脳108Pa(鈭�1atm=1.01脳105Pa)=1.09脳108脳1atm1.01脳105=1.08脳103atm

Hence, the value of hydrostatic pressure is1.08脳103atm

A block of wood floats in fresh water with two-thirds of its volume V submerged and in oil with 0.90V submerged. (a) Find the density of the wood. (b) Find the density of the oil.

Question: A pitot tube (Figure) on a high-altitude aircraft measures a differential pressure of 180Pa. What is the aircraft鈥檚 airspeed if the density of the air is 0.031kg/m3?

When a person snorkels, the lungs are connected directly to the atmosphere through the snorkel tube and thus are at atmospheric pressure 1) In atmospheres, what is the difference鈭�pbetween this internal air pressure and the water pressure against the body if the length of the snorkel tube is 20 cm (standard situation) &2) In atmospheres, what is the difference謴pbetween this internal air pressure and the water pressure against the body if the length of the snorkel tube is 4.0m(probably lethal situation)? In the latter, the pressure difference causes blood vessels on the walls of the lungs to rupture, releasing blood into the lungs. As depicted in Figure, an elephant can safely snorkel through its trunk while swimming with its lungsbelow the water surface because the membrane around its lungs contains connective tissue that holds and protects the blood vessels, preventing rupturing.

In Figure 14-49, water flows through a horizontal pipe and then out into the atmosphere at a speedv1=15m/s. The diameters of the left and right sections of the pipe are5.0cmand 3.0cm.

(a) What volume of water flows into the atmosphere during a 10minperiod? In the left section of the pipe?

(b) What is the speed v2?

(c) What is the gauge pressure?

The intake in Figure has cross-sectional area of0.74m2and water flow at 0.40m/s. At the outlet, distance D=180mbelow the intake, the cross-sectional area is smaller than at the intake, and the water flows out at 9.5m/sinto the equipment. What is the pressure difference between inlet and outlet?
