Concept explainers
To increase the effect of the buoyant force on a submarine, the crew replaces seawater in the ballast tanks with air. To push the seawater out of the tanks, they use compressed air from air flask. The submanne is located 10 m below the surface in seawater with density
N? Assume the temperature of air in the flasks is the same as the seawater temperature.

- A backyard swimming pool with a circular base of diameter 6.00 m is filled to depth 1.50 m. (a) Find the absolute pressure at the bottom of the pool. (b) Two persons with combined mass 150 kg enter the pool and float quietly there. No water overflows. Find the pressure increase at the bottom of the pool after they enter the pool and float.arrow_forwardA spherical submersible 2.00 m in radius, armed with multiple cameras, descends under water in a region of the Atlantic Ocean known for shipwrecks and finds its first shipwreck at a depth of 1.75 103 m. Seawater has density 1.03 103 kg/m3, and the air pressure at the oceans surface is 1.013 105 Pa. a. What is the absolute pressure at the depth of the shipwreck? b. What is the buoyant force on the submersible at the depth of the shipwreck?arrow_forwardA horizontal pipe 10.0 cm in diameter has a smooth reduction to a pipe 5.00 cm in diameter. If the pressure of the water in the larger pipe is 8.00 104 Pa and the pressure in the smaller pipe is 6.00 104 Pa, at what rate does water flow through the pipes?arrow_forward
- Water flows through a fire hose of diameter 6.35 cm at a rate of 0.0120 m3/s. The fire hose ends in a nozzle of inner diameter 2.20 cm. What is the speed with which the water exits the nozzle?arrow_forwardA submarine is stranded on the bottom of the ocean with its hatch 25.0 m below the surface. Calculate the force needed to open the hatch from the inside, given it is circular and 0.450 m in diameter. Air pressure inside the submarine is 1.00 atm.arrow_forwardA backyard swimming pool with a circular base of diameter 6.00 m is filled to depth 1.50 m. (a) Find the absolute pressure at the bottom of the pool. (b) Two persons with combined mass 150 kg enter the pool and float quietly there. No water overflown. Find the pressure increase at the bottom of the pool after they enter the pool and float.arrow_forward
- Small spheres of diameter 1.00 mm fall through 20C water with a terminal speed of 1.10 cm/s. Calculate the density of the spheres.arrow_forwardSuppose you are at the top of Mount Everest and you fill a water balloon. The air pressure at the top of Mount Everest is 58 kPa. a. What is the fractional change in the balloons volume V/Vi when you take it to sea level? b. If instead you take it 100 m below the surface of the ocean, what is the fractional change in its volume?arrow_forwardA childs toy floats in a swimming pool. The buoyant force exerted on the toy depends on the volume of ___. (3.6) (a) water in the pool (b) the pool (c) the water displaced (d) the toy under waterarrow_forward
