During the 20th century, the United States would often dispose of nuclear waste by dumping them into the ocean¹. Assume that a giant cube of depleted uranium with sides measuring 10 m is dropped into the Mariana Trench (deepest part of the Pacific Ocean) and promptly sinks to a depth of h = 11000 m. At this depth, determine the change in volume of the cube and the new length of each side. Note: the hydrostatic pressure is p = -pgh, where p = 1025 kgm ³ is the density of seawater and g = 9.81 ms² is the gravitational acceleration. Assume E = 170 GPa and v= 0.19 for depleted uranium.

A geologist finds a rock of unknown composition and desires to measureits density. To measure the volume, she places the rock in a cylinder,which is graduated in 0.1 mL increments, half-filled with water, so thatthe rock is submerged in the water. She removes the rock from thecylinder and directly measures the rock's mass using a scale with adigital readout resolution of 0.1 g. No information is provided from themanufacturer about the scale uncertainty. She records the volume, V,and mass, m, as follows: V = 40.5 mL, m = 143.1 g. Determine thepercent uncertainty in the density expressed with the correct number ofsignificant figures.

Fluid Mechanics Last fall, researchers using a manned submarine discovered coral reefs at unprecedented ocean depths of 1/2 mile, of the coast of South Carolina. Find the hydrostatic pressure at that depth. Find the fractional changes in density (drho/rho) and in volume (dV/V) for the seawater at that depth. The density of seawater at the surface of the ocean is 1025kg/m3, and the bulk modulus of elasticity of seawater is 2.34*109 Pa.
In a system, an open cylindrical steel tank, which has a density of 7820 kg/m^3, has an inside diameter of 4.0 m and an internal height of 5.0 m. From being initially empty, exactly 2,582.13 slugs of water were poured into the tank. Next, another liquid mass, equivalent to 1,626.742 slugs, was poured inside the tank. After settling, this fluid occupied three-tenths of the total internal height of the container. Then, mercury was poured into the tank. After the fluid has settled, the height of the mercury layer was measured to be one-fifth of a meter. Finally, oil, with S.G.=0.80, was poured to fill the remaining empty volume of the tank. 1) Draw the vertical profile of the tank and label properly all the liquid layers, indicating properly the value of specific gravity used for each liquid layer. 2) What is the total mass of the system if the tank itself has a volume of 2.29 m^3? 3)Solve for the hydrostatic gage pressure at the liquid surface, at the interfaces between any two…
