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.

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…
