Consider a large cubic ice block floating in seawater. The specific gravities of ice and seawater are 0.92 and 1.025, respectively. If a 25-cm-high portion of the ice block extends above the surface of the water, determine the height of the ice block below the surface.

A submarine is stranded on the bottom of the ocean with its hatch 25 m below the surface. In this problem, assume the density of sea water is 1.03 × 103 kg/m3.  Calculate the force, in newtons, needed to open the hatch from the inside, given it is circular and 0.35 m in diameter. The air pressure inside the submarine is 1.00 atm. F =

QUESTION 2 Which of the following is an accurate statement? O A. It is possible to add a scalar quantity to a vector. O B. Even though two vectors have unequal magnitudes, it is possible that their vector sum is zero. OC. Rotating a vector about an axis passing through the tip of the vector does not change the vector. OD. The magnitude of a vector is independent of the coordinate system used. O E. The magnitude of a vector can be zero even though one of its components is not zero.

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.)
