A research submarine has a 10-cm-diameter window that is 8.4 cm thick. The manufacturer says the window can withstand forces up

to 1.2×106 N . What is the submarine's maximum safe depth in salt water?
The pressure inside the submarine is maintained at 1.0 atm .

Pnet = Po + dgh 

<span>Density of saltwater = 1030 kg/m^3. </span>

<span>Disregard the thickness. Assuming it's a circular window, then the area is pi(r^2). </span>

<span>d = 20 cm = 0.2 m </span>
<span>r = d/2 = 0.1 m </span>

<span>A = pi(r^2) </span>
<span>A = 3.14159265(.1^2) </span>
<span>A = 0.0314159265 m^2 </span>

<span>p = F/A </span>
<span>p = (1.1 x 10^6) / (0.0314159265) </span>
<span>p = 35,014,087.5 Pa </span>

<span>1 atm = 101,325 Pa </span>

<span>P = Po + dgh </span>
<span>h = (P - Po) / dg </span>
<span>h = (35,014,087.5 - 101,325) / (1030 x 9.81) </span>
<span>h = 3 455.23812 m </span>
<span>h = 3.5 km</span>

Answer: 15 km

Explanation:

The maximum pressure that the submarine can withheld would be equal to the maximum pressure that the window can withstand.

The maximum pressure that window can sustain is given by:

Pressure\frac{force}{Area]

Force = 1.2×10⁶ N

Area of the window = \pi r^{2}= 7.85\times 10^{-5} m^2

∵radius = (0.1 m)/2 = 0.05 m

⇒P = 1.2×10⁶ N ÷ 7.85 ×10⁻³ m² = 1.52 ×10⁸ N/m²

The pressure of the salt water at depth h is given by

P = ρ g h

where, ρ = 1027 kg/m³ is the density of the salt water, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the depth.

⇒1.52×10⁸ Pa =  (1027 kg/m³)(9.8 m/s²)(h)

⇒ h ≈ 15 km

Genrish500 [490]
A. 314 because when you use the formula for the GPE ; GPE=MGH or means mass times gravity time height (4x8x9.8) and thats equivalent to 313.6 which rounds up to 314. Hope it helps

How does a electron travel through a closed circuit?
Murljashka [212]

The particles that carry charge through wires in a circuit are mobile electrons. The electric field direction within a circuit is by definition the direction that positive test charges are pushed. Thus, these negatively charged electrons move in the direction opposite the electric field.
