**Submarine Window Specifications and Pressure Resistance** An ocean-going research submarine is equipped with a window that has a diameter of 10.0 cm and a thickness of 8.60 cm. According to the manufacturer, this window is capable of withstanding forces up to \(1.20 \times 10^6 \, \text{N}\). The internal pressure within the submarine is maintained at 1.0 atm. Understanding these specifications is crucial for ensuring the safety and integrity of the submarine during deep-sea explorations. The window's ability to withstand considerable force is vital for protecting against high external pressures encountered under water. ### Part A **Question:** What is the submarine's maximum safe depth? **Instruction:** Express your answer with the appropriate units. **Answer Box:** \( h = \) [Value] [Units] **Buttons and Features:** - **Formatting Options:** Tools to format the answer. - **Submit Button:** Click to submit the answer. - **Request Answer:** Click to see the correct answer if needed. **Additional Options:** - **Provide Feedback:** Option for users to give feedback on the question.
Fluid Pressure
The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.
Gauge Pressure
Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem to bother anyone as the bodily fluids are constantly pushing outwards with the same force but if one swims down into the ocean a few feet below the surface one can notice the difference, there is increased pressure on the eardrum, this is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure.
