The greatest ocean depths on the Earth are found in the Marianas Trench near the Philippines. Calculate the pressure due to the ocean at the bottom of this trench, given its depth is 11.0 km and assuming the density of seawater is constant all the way down.
(a) What fraction of Earth’s diameter is the greatest ocean depth?
(b) The greatest mountain height?
The Mariana trench is located in the floor of the Pacific Ocean ata depth of about 10400 m below the surface of the water. Thedensity of seawater is 1025 kg/m3.(a) If an underwater vehicle were to explore such a depth, whatforce would the water exert on the vehicle's observation window(radius = 0.13 m)?N(b) For comparison, determine the weight of a jetliner whose massis 1.00 105 kg.N
