Answer:
Explanation:
First of all, we need to find the pressure exerted on the sphere, which is given by:
where
is the atmospheric pressure
is the water density
is the gravitational acceleration
is the depth
Substituting,
The radius of the sphere is r = d/2= 1.1 m/2= 0.55 m
So the total area of the sphere is
And so, the inward force exerted on it is
The circumference of the Earth at the equator is listed as 24,901 miles.
So his speed is
24,901 miles per day.
Convert it to units that we have a better feel for:
(24,901 mi/da) x (1 da / 24 hrs)
= (24,901 / 24) (miles/hour)
= about 1,038 miles per hour.
You'll find a huge number of people on the internet these days,
telling you that you could not be moving at that speed and not
feel it, so therefore the Earth is not spinning, and it's not a globe.
I have a lot of feelings and comments about those people, their
lines of reasoning, and their levels of education and intelligence,
so don't get me started.
I just want to guarantee you that everything you're learning about
the Earth and the solar system in school is well founded, and it's
all based on the life's work of some of the smartest people of the
past 300 years of human history. Everything you're taught about
the Earth has good reasons behind it, whereas those other people
have nothing.
A person on Earth's equator is moving from west to east at roughly
1,038 miles per hour, relative to any point on the Earth's rotation axis.
You can decrease the mass, or you can increase the force applied to the object
