A research submarine has a 20-cm-diameter window 8.0 cm thick. The manufacturer says the window can withstand forces up to 1.0 * 106 N. What is the submarine’s maximum
safe depth? The pressure inside the submarine is maintained at 1.0 atm.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Safe depth for submarine is 3158 m.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Submarine has a 20-cm-diameter window 8.0 cm thick.

The window can withstand forces up to 1.0 * 106 N.

The pressure inside the submarine is maintained at 1.0 atm.

02

Explanation

We can calculate pressure

P=hÒÏg ........................(1)

We can calculate pressure using P = Force / Area

P = F/A ........................................(2)

From equation 1 and 2

FA=hÒÏg⇒h=FAÒÏgSubstitutevaluesA=Ï€r2

Substitute values given , we get

h=1.0×106N(1029kg/m3)×(9.8m/s2)×3.14×(0.1m)2h=3158m

One day when you come into physics lab you find several plastic hemispheres floating like boats in a tank of fresh water. Each lab group is challenged to determine the heaviest rock that can be placed in the bottom of a plastic boat without sinking it. You get one try. Sinking the boat gets you no points, and the maximum number of points goes to the group that can place the heaviest rock without sinking. You begin by measuring one of the hemispheres, finding that it has a mass 21gand a diameter of 8.0cm. What is the mass of the heaviest rock that, in perfectly still water, won't sink the plastic boat?

Disk brakes, such as those in your car, operate by using pressurized oil to push outward on a piston. The piston, in turn, presses brake pads against a spinning rotor or wheel, as seen inFIGURECP14.74. Consider a 15kgindustrial grinding wheel, 26cmin diameter, spinning at 900rpm. The brake pads are actuated by 2.0-cm-diameter pistons, and they contact the wheel an average distance 12cmfrom the axis. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the brake pad and the wheel is 0.60, what oil pressure is needed to stop the wheel in 5.0s5.0s?
