Question
At a depth of 10.9 km, the Challenger Deep in the
Marianas Trench of the Pacific Ocean is the deepest site in any
ocean. Yet, in 1960, Donald Walsh and Jacques Piccard reached
the Challenger Deep in the bathyscaph Trieste. Assuming that
seawater has a uniform density of 1024 kg/m3, approximate the
hydrostatic pressure (in atmospheres) that the Trieste had to
withstand. (Even a slight defect in the Trieste structure would
have been disastrous.)

- NASA is designing a mission to explore Titan, the largest moon of Saturn. Titan has numerous hydrocarbon lakes containing a mix of liquid methane and liquid ethane in unknown proportions. As part of the mission, a small submersible vehicle will explore Kraken Mare, the largest of these lakes. Assuming the maximum depth of Kraken Mare is less than 450 meters [m], how much total pressure units of in atmospheres [atm] must the submersible be designed to withstand? Assume the surface pressure on Titan is 146 kilopascals [kPa], the surface temperature is 93 kelvins [K], and the gravity is 1.35 meters per second squared m/s2. The specific gravity of liquid methane is 0.415 and the specific gravity of liquid ethane is 0.546.arrow_forwardIn the figure, water flows through a horizontal pipe and then out into the atnosphere at a speed v- left and right sections of the pipe are 5.20 cm and 2.80 cm.
