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 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 = 1.3 atm

Patm = atmospheric pressure = atm

h = depth of liquid = 2 m

蟻= density of liquid

g = gravitational acceleration

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 + 1094.74 = 1095.74 = 1096 atm (approx)

Astronauts visiting a new planet find a lake filled with an unknown liquid. They have with them a plastic cube, 6.0cmon each side, with a density of 840Kg/m3. First they weigh the cube with a spring scale, measuring a weight of 21N. Then they float the cube in the lake and find that two-thirds of the cube is submerged. At what depth in the lake will the pressure be twice the atmospheric pressure of85kPa ?
