Question

A submersible vehicle is being designed to operate in the Atlantic Ocean. Density of ocean water is 1.025 grams per cubic centimeter. For a maximum depth of 350 feet, what is the total pressure the hull of the submersible must be designed to withstand? Give your answer in units of pounds per square inch.

(Round your answer to three significant digits.)

Explanation / Answer

Given desnity = 1.025 gram/cm3 = 1025 kg/m3

maximum depth = 350 ft = 106.68 m

P = *g*d = 1025*9.81*106.68 = 1.0726 MPa = 155.5811217232 pounds/in2
