Answer:
A) 27209506.5 N
B) 2393640 N
The force on the underwater vehicle is about 11.37 times the weight of the jetliner for comparison.
Explanation:
Force du to depth of water is
F = pghA
P = density of salt water = 1025 kg/m3
g = acceleration due to gravity 9.81 m/s2
h = depth of water 11000 m
A = area pressure acts
Area = ¶r^2 = 3.142 x 0.280^2 = 0.246 m^2
Therefore
F = 1025 x 9.81 x 11000 x 0.246
= 27209506.5 N
Weight of a jetliner with mass 2.44 × 10^5 kg is,
2.44×10^5 x 9.81 = 2393640 N
The force on the underwater vehicle is about 11.37 times the weight of the jetliner for comparison.
