Question
SITUATION 1.1 The deepest point in the ocean is 11,034 meters in the
Mariana Trench in the Pacific. At this depth unit weight of sea water 10,105
Newtons per cubic meter. Estimate the absolute pressure at this depth.
a) What is its density of the sea water? (in kilograms per cubic meter) (20%)
b) What is its absolute pressure at the bottom, if the atmospheric pressure =
101,350 Pascals? (in Newtons per cubic meter) (20%)
c) What is its absolute pressure, in atm?
d) What is the specific gravity of the sea water? (20%)
SITUATION 1.2 (20%) In Figure 1.2, get the specific gravity of
the following common substances.
