Explanation Given data: The depth of the black smoker vent is 3 , 200 m and the density of water is 1 , 000 kg/m 3 . Formula to calculate the gauge pressurein Pascals is, p g = ρ g h p g is the gauge pressure ρ is the density of the water g is the acceleration due to gravity h is the depth of the vent Substitute 1 , 000 kg/m 3 for ρ , 3 , 200 m for h , and 9.8 m/s 2 for g to find p g , p g = ( 1 , 000 kg/m 3 ) ( 9.8 m/s 2 ) ( 3 , 200 m ) = 3

Density of Solids

The density of a substance refers to how much matter is present in a given amount of space. It is expressed as the ratio of the mass of the substance to its volume.

Black smokers are hot volcanic vents that emit smoke deep into the ocean floor. Many of them teem with exotic creatures, and some biologists think that life on earth may have begun around such vents. The vents range in depth from about 1500 m to 3200 m below the surface. What is the gauge pressure at a 3200-m deep vent, assuming that the density of water does not vary? Express your answer in Pascals and atmospheres.

We are interested in measuring the pressure at different depths below the surface of the ocean. Pressure increases by approximately 1 atmosphere for every 10 m of depth below the surface (for example, at a depth of 20 m, there are approximately 3 atmospheres of pressure, 2 due the ocean and 1 to the atmosphere itself). Measuring a pressure of x atmospheres without crushing the device costs x² dollars. a. How much would it cost to measure the pressure 100 m down? b. How much would it cost to measure the pressure 1000 m down? c. How much would it cost to measure the pressure 5000 m down?
