3. The transparent "biospheres" beneath the Bay of Noli, in Savona, Italy, are part of the
three-year-old Nemo's Garden project, which aims to find innovative ways of growing
crops in places that lack freshwater or fertile soil (Fig 1). Resembling large balloons, the
air-filled structures are anchored to the sea floor and float between 5 and 10 meters
below the surface. A mercury U-tube manometer inside the biosphere attached to the
biosphere surface which is designed to indicate the water pressure outside. It is located
at 10 m deep as shown in Fig 2. The air pressure inside the biosphere is known to be 765
mm Hg.

1) Based on the readings given in the illustration, determine the atmospheric pressure
at the ocean surface (Assume the seawater density if 1024 kg/m³).
2) If the radius of the biosphere is 0.985 m and the net weight of the biosphere including
the facilities inside is 198 kg, determine the minimum force that the anchor must
provide.

Step 1

Fluid mechanics :

Fluid mechanics is the study of fluid dynamics at rest and in motion (liquids, gases, blood, and plasmas). Fluid mechanics has many applications, including mechanical and chemical engineering, biological systems, and astrophysics.
