Question 127: Properties of Matter

Question

The pressure acting on a submarine is 3 $$	imes$$ 105 Pa at a certain depth. If the depth is doubled, the percentage increase in the pressure acting on the submarine would be : (Assume that atmospheric pressure is 1 $$	imes$$ 105 Pa density of water is 103 kg m$$-$$3, g = 10 ms$$-$$2)

Accepted Answer

P = P
0
+ h$$ho$$g = 3 $$	imes$$ 10

Pa
$$ \Rightarrow $$ h$$ho$$g = 3 $$	imes$$ 10

$$ \Rightarrow $$ h$$ho$$g = 2 $$	imes$$ 10

$$ 	herefore $$ 2h$$ho$$g = 4 $$	imes$$ 10

$$ 	herefore $$ P' = 5 $$	imes$$ 10
5
Pa
$$ 	herefore $$ % increase in pressure = $${{P' - P} \over P} 	imes 100$$
$$ = {{(5 - 3) 	imes {{10}^5}} \over {3 	imes {{10}^5}}} 	imes 100$$
$$ = {{200} \over 3}$$%

Answer

$${{200} \over 5}$$%

Answer

$${{200} \over 3}$$%

Answer

$${{3} \over 200}$$%

Answer

$${{5} \over 200}$$%
