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)

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?
