Answer:
Gauge Pressure required = 606.258 kPa
Explanation:
Water will not enter the chamber if the pressure of air in it equals that of the water which tries to enter it.
Thus at a depth of 60m we have pressure of water equals
Now the gauge pressure is given by
Applying values we get
Work needed: 720 J
Explanation:
The work needed to stretch a spring is equal to the elastic potential energy stored in the spring when it is stretched, which is given by
where
k is the spring constant
x is the stretching of the spring from the equilibrium position
In this problem, we have
E = 90 J (work done to stretch the spring)
x = 0.2 m (stretching)
Therefore, the spring constant is
Now we can find what is the work done to stretch the spring by an additional 0.4 m, that means to a total displacement of
x = 0.2 + 0.4 = 0.6 m
Substituting,
Therefore, the additional work needed is
