Chapter 14: Q. 6 (page 384)

The deepest point in the ocean is 11 km below sea level, deeper than Mt. Everest is tall. What is the pressure in atmospheres at this depth?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The pressure at the deepest point in the ocean is 1096 atm

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Deepest point in the ocean is 11 km below sea level

02

Explanation

Total pressure is calculated by

PTotal = Patm + h蟻g ...............................(1)

PTotal = pressure at the bottom =

Patm = atmospheric pressure = atm

h = depth of liquid = 11 km = 11 x 103m

蟻= density of liquid =1029 kg/m3

g = gravitational acceleration =9.8 m/s2

Calculate h蟻g , consider g = 9.8 m/s2 and density of sea water is 1029 kg/m3

h蟻g = 11 x 103m x 1029 kg/m3 x 9.8 m/s2

h蟻g = 1.10926 x 108 Pa

Convert into atm pressure 1.10926x108Pa101325Pa=1094.78atm

Substitute the value in equation (1)

PTotal = 1 atm + 1094.74 atm = 1095.74 atm= 1096 atm (approx)

What does the top pressure gauge read in FIGUREEX14.30?

A friend asks you how much pressure is in your car tires. You know that the tire manufacturer recommends 30psi, but it's been a while since you've checked. You can't find a tire gauge in the car, but you do find the owner's manual and a ruler. Fortunately, you've just finished taking physics, so you tell your friend, "I don't know, but I can figure it out." From the owner's manual you find that the car's mass is1500kg. It seems reasonable to assume that each tire supports one-fourth of the weight. With the ruler you find that the tires are 15cm wide and the flattened segment of the tire in contact with the road is 13cm long. What answer-in psi-will you give your friend?
