At a depth of 10.9 km, the Challenger Deep in the Marianas Trench of the Pacific Ocean is the deepest site in any ocean. Yet, in 1960, Donald Walsh and Jacques Piccard reached the Challenger Deep in the bathyscaph Trieste. Assuming that seawater has a uniform density of 1024 kg/m3, a. approximate the hydrostatic pressure (in atmospheres) that the Trieste had to withstand. b. What is the absolute pressure on that depth (in kPa(a))?
Consider the following section of pipe. The velocity of water (Pwater h₁ m S V₁ = 2.9 h₁ = 3.2 m V₂ = 6.7 h₂ = 1.9 m m S Point 1 = 1000 kg ) and height are given for two different points in the pipe. Use this information to answer the following questions. m What is the ratio of the cross-sectional area at point 1 to the cross-sectional area at point 2? A₁ A₂ What is the difference in pressure between points 1 and 2? (Find P2 - P₁. Include a negative sign if that's what you calculate.) P2 - P1 = Pa Which direction is the water flowing through the pipe? Point 2 h₂
P Some fish have a density slightly less than that of water and must exert a force, by swimming, to stay barely submerged. What magnitude of force, in newtons, must an 82-5-kg grouper exert to stay submerged in salt water (with density 1025 kg/m³) if its body density is 1015 kg/m³?

Some jellyfish can eject stingers with remarkable force and speed. One species does this by building up a 15 MPa gauge pressure that pushes against the base of a 2.0-μm-diameter stylet, forcing it outward.a. What force does the excess pressure exert on the stylet?b. The mass set into motion is a tiny 1.0 × 10-12 kg. What is the resulting acceleration?
Q. 26. A cylindrical tank having radius R is half filled with water having density p. There is a hole at the top of the tank. The tank is moved horizontally, perpendicular to its length, with a constant acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity (g). Find the maximum pressure exerted by water at any point on the tank. Atmospheric pressure is Po. Assume that there is no spillage.
