Answer:
<em>The depth will be equal to</em> <em>6141.96 m</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
pressure on the submarine = 62 MPa = 62 x 10^6 Pa
we also know that = ρgh
where
ρ is the density of sea water = 1029 kg/m^3
g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2
h is the depth below the water that this pressure acts
substituting values, we have
= 1029 x 9.81 x h = 10094.49h
The gauge pressure within the submarine = 101 kPa = 101000 Pa
this gauge pressure is balanced by the atmospheric pressure (proportional to 101325 Pa) that acts on the surface of the sea, so it cancels out.
Equating the pressure , we have
62 x 10^6 = 10094.49h
depth h = <em>6141.96 m</em>

Explanation:
Volume of cylinder = 2 L = 0.002 m^3 (1000 L = 1 m^3)
diameter of the inner cylinder = 8 cm = 0.08 m (100 cm = 1 m)
radius of the inner cylinder = diameter/2 = 0.08/2 = 0.04 m
area of the inner cylinder =
where = 3.142,
and r = radius = 0.04 m
area of inner cylinder = 3.142 x = 0.005 m^2
<em>height h of the water in this cylinder = volume/area</em>
h = 0.002/0.005 = 0.4 m
<em>pressure at the bottom of the cylinder due to the height of water = pgh</em>
where
p = density of water = 1000 kg/m^3
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2
h = height of water within this cylinder = 0.4 m
pressure = 1000 x 9.81 x 0.4 = <em>3924 Pa</em>
