James Cameron piloted a submersible craft to the bottom of the Challenger Deep, the deepest point on the ocean's floor, 11,000 m

below the surface. What was the total inward force on the 1.1-m-diameter pilot sphere in which Cameron sat?

Answer:

$4.1\cdot 10^8 N$

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the pressure exerted on the sphere, which is given by:

$p=p_0 + \rho g h$

where

$p_0 =1.01\cdot 10^5 Pa$ is the atmospheric pressure

$\rho = 1000 kg/m^3$ is the water density

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the gravitational acceleration

$h=11,000 m$ is the depth

Substituting,

$p=1.01\cdot 10^5 Pa + (1000 kg/m^3)(9.8 m/s^2)(11,000 m)=1.08\cdot 10^8 Pa$

The radius of the sphere is r = d/2= 1.1 m/2= 0.55 m

So the total area of the sphere is

$A=4 \pi r^2 = 4 \pi (0.55 m)^2=3.8 m^2$

And so, the inward force exerted on it is

$F=pA=(1.08\cdot 10^8 Pa)(3.8 m^2)=4.1\cdot 10^8 N$

The total inward force is about 4.1 × 10⁸ N

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall Hydrostatic Pressure formula as follows:

$\boxed{ P = \rho g h}$

<em>where:</em>

<em>P = hydrosatic pressure ( Pa )</em>

<em>ρ = density of fluid ( kg/m³ )</em>

<em>g = gravitational acceleration ( m/s² )</em>

<em>h = height of a column of liquid ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

$\texttt{ }$

<u>Given:</u>

depth of the ocean's floor = h = 11 000 m

diameter pilot sphere = d = 1.1 m

atmospheric pressure = Po = 10⁵ Pa

<u>Asked:</u>

total inward force = F = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

$F = P A$

$F = ( P_o + \rho g h ) A$

$F = ( P_o + \rho g h ) ( \pi d^2 )$ → <em>Area of Sphere = π d²</em>

$F = ( 10^5 + 1000 \times 9.8 \times 11000 ) ( \pi \times 1.1^2 )$

$F \approx 4.1 \times 10^8 \texttt{ Newton}$

<h3>Conclusion:</h3>

The total inward force is about 4.1 × 10⁸ N

A 45.0-kg girl is standing on a 168-kg plank. The plank, originally at rest, is free to slide on a frozen lake, which is a flat,

muminat

Answer:

The speed of the plank relative to the ice is:

$v_{p}=-0.33\: m/s$

Explanation:

Here we can use momentum conservation. Do not forget it is relative to the ice.

$m_{g}v_{g}+m_{p}v_{p}=0$ (1)

Where:

m(g) is the mass of the girl
m(p) is the mass of the plank
v(g) is the speed of the girl
v(p) is the speed of the plank

Now, as we have relative velocities, we have:

$v_{g/b}=v_{g}-v_{p}=1.55 \: m/s$ (2)

v(g/b) is the speed of the girl relative to the plank

Solving the system of equations (1) and (2)

$45v_{g}+168v_{p}=0$

$v_{g}-v_{p}=1.55$

$v_{p}=-0.33\: m/s$

I hope it helps you!

In a particular case of an object in front of a spherical mirror with a focal length of +12.0 cm, the magnification is +4.00.(a)

salantis [7]

Answer:

9 cm

-36 cm

Explanation:

u = Object distance

v = Image distance

f = Focal length = 12

m = Magnification = 4

$m=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow 4=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow v=-4u$

Lens equation

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{12}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{-4u}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{12}=\frac{3}{4u}\\\Rightarrow u=9\ cm$

Object distance is 9 cm

$v=-4\times 9=-36\ cm$

Image distance is -36 cm (other side of object)

If you were trying to build a soundproof room, which of the following materials would you choose in order to absorb the most sou

leonid [27]

Explanation :

Absorption coefficient of a material determines how much sound is absorbed by the material.

To build a soundproof room, Heavy curtains and carpet can be used. They reduce reverberation.

Reverberation means an echoing sound which persists for some time. For example, when we bang on a huge piece of metal, we hear the reverberation even after we stop banging.

Hence, option (A) and (D) are correct.

Earlier we discussed the concept of isostasy, where lower density rocks rise higher than higher density rocks. How is the variat

Elena L [17]

The variation of water depth at spreading centers (ridges) controlled by isostasy as convective cooling cools the rocks much more effectively the than heat conduction.

<h3>What is convective heat transfer?</h3>

When heat transfer takes place between the two fluids in direct or indirect contact.

The lithosphere cools when it moves away from the ridge axis by sea floor spreading. The cooler rocks have low density, so the sea floor gets deeper as the lithosphere gets more dense.

Thus, the convective cooling cools the rocks much more effectively the than heat conduction.
