Question

A pirate's treasure chest lies 20.0 m below the surface of the ocean. What is the magnitude of the force that acts on the rectangular top that is 0.750 m × 0.425 m? Do not neglect the atmospheric pressure and use 1000 kg/m³ for the density of the water. 980 N 2.39 × 10³ N 9.47 × 10? N 4.71 × 10? N 2.00 × 10? N

Step 1

01 x 10^5 Pa + (1000 kg/m^3 x 9.8 m/s^2 x 20 m) Absolute pressure = 1.01 x 10^5 Pa + 196000 Pa Absolute pressure = 297000 Pa Show more…
