Ocean Floor
A team of oceanographers is mapping the ocean floor to assist in the recovery of a sunken ship. Using sonar, they develop the model
where D is the depth in meters, and x and y are the distances in kilometers.
(a) Use a computer algebra system to graph D.
(b) Because the graph in part (a) is showing depth, it is not a map of the ocean floor. How could the model be changed so that the graph of the ocean floor could be obtained?
(c) What is the depth of the ship if it is located at the coordinates
(d) Determine the steepness of the ocean floor in the positive x-direction from the position of the ship.
(e) Determine the steepness of the ocean floor in the positive y-direction from the position of the ship.
(f) Determine the direction of the greatest rate of change of depth from the position of the ship.

If the level is different, by what factor? Explain. (5 pts) Solution: A barometer works based on the principle that the pressure exerted by the liquid column balances atmospheric pressure. The pressure is given by: P = pgh Since the atmospheric pressure remains constant (P = 1.00 atm), the height of the liquid column is inversely proportional to its density: Step 1: Given Data PHg hol=hgx Poil • Density of mercury: PHg = 13.6 g/cm³ Density of oil: Poil = 0.92 g/cm³ • Standard height of mercury at 1.00 atm: hμg Step 2: Compute Height of Oil = 760 mm = 0.760 m 13.6 hoil = 0.760 x 0.92 hoil = 0.760 × 14.78 hoil = 11.23 m Step 3: Compare Heights Since oil is less dense than mercury, the column of oil must be much taller than that of mercury. The factor by which it is taller is: Final…arrow_forward
