A. What is the pressure at a depth of 5000min the ocean?

B. What is the fractional volume change ∆V/Vof seawater at this pressure?

C. What is the density of seawater at this pressure?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The density at a depth'd' increases by 1.025 times the density at surface of the Ocean.

Step by step solution

01

Introduction(part A)

The water pressure at a depth'd" in the Ocean

p=po+pngd

Po=Atmospheric pressure =101325pas

ÒÏw= Density of Ocean water =1.025kg/L

=1025kg/m3

∵1000L=1m3

g= Acceleration due to gravity

d= Ocean depth

p=101325pa+1025kg/m3×9.8m/sec×5000m

=50326325pasclas

≈497atm

101325pas
02

Explanation(part B)

B) Fractional volume change =∆VV=

ΔVV=-pB

B=Bulk modulas of water =0.2×1010N/m3

ΔVV=-50326325pas0.2×1010N/m2

=-0.025163(Or)-2.5%of initial volume

ΔVV=-2.5%.........(1)

03

Step 3:Density of sea water (part C)

C) Density of sea water at this pressure is more

Let ÒÏebe the density of sea water at surface

And ÒÏdbe the density at the depth'd'

ÒÏo=mVnand ÒÏd=mVd

Let us consider the mass of water be m=1kg

Taking the ratios of ÒÏdand ÒÏo

ÒÏdÒÏo=mVdmVo

=VoVd

⇒ÒÏdÒÏo=VoVd..........(1)

04

Step 4:Substiution

We know that from equation (1)

ΔVVu=-2.5%of initial volume

⇒Vd-VeVe=-0.025

⇒Vd=Vo(1-0.025)

Vd=0.975VeFrom equation(2)

ÒÏdÒÏe=Vv0.975Ve

ÒÏs=ÒÏe(1.02564)

As a conclusion, average volume at a depth 'd' is 1.025times the same at the Ocean's surface.

Vd=0.975Ve

A spring with spring constant 35 N/m is attached to the ceiling, and a 5.0-cm-diameter, 1.0 kg metal cylinder is attached to its lower end. The cylinder is held so that the spring is neither stretched nor compressed, then a tank of water is placed underneath with the surface of the water just touching the bottom of the cylinder. When released, the cylinder will oscillate a few times but, damped by the water, quickly reach an equilibrium position. When in equilibrium, what length of the cylinder is submerged?

You need to determine the density of a ceramic statue. If you suspend it from a spring scale, the scale reads 28.4N. If you then lower the statue into a tub of water, so that it is completely submerged, the scale reads 17.0N. What is the statue's density?

The two identical beakers in FIGURE Q14.9 are filled to the same height with water. Beaker B has a plastic sphere floating in it. Which beaker, with all its contents, weighs more? Or are they equal? Explain.

A 10-cm-diameter, 20-cm-tallsteel cylinderÒÏsteel=7900kg/m3 floats in mercury. The axis of the cylinder is perpendicular to the surface. What length of steel is above the surface?

FIGURE Q14.4 shows two rectangular tanks, A and B, full of water. They have equal depths and equal thicknesses (the dimension into the page) but different widths.

a. Compare the forces the water exerts on the bottoms of the tanks. Is FA larger than, smaller than, or equal to FB? Explain.
b. Compare the forces the water exerts on the sides of the tanks. Is FA larger than, smaller than, or equal to FB? Explain.
