- Please create the pressure profile in excel ( graph ) Just like the example on the pic Thank youYou have a rock that has a mass of 52 g and a volume of 4 cm3. What layer of the earth would this rock be found in?Fluid Mechanics Last fall, researchers using a manned submarine discovered coral reefs at unprecedented ocean depths of 1/2 mile, of the coast of South Carolina. Find the hydrostatic pressure at that depth. Find the fractional changes in density (drho/rho) and in volume (dV/V) for the seawater at that depth. The density of seawater at the surface of the ocean is 1025kg/m3, and the bulk modulus of elasticity of seawater is 2.34*109 Pa.

The surface lenght (dimension perpendicular to the figure) is 4.5 m. The unit weight of water =9.81 Kn/m3A cross-section of a tank with a width 5 m (into the page) is filled with water. A quarter cylindrical structure in one wall protrudes into the tank as shown in the Figure. The distances AB, and BC are 4 m and 1 m respectively. i)Calculate the size and centre of pressure of the vertical hydrostatic force on the surface BC. ii)Calculate the size and centre of pressure of the vertical hydrostatic force on the surface CD.13.Two identical cubes are placed in different liquids with different densities. Is the buoyant force on the cube on the left greater than, less than, or equal to the buoyant force on the cube on the right?

How does the buoyant force change from water to salt water?An iceberg has mass 128,000 tonnes (1 tonne = 1000 kgkg) and is composed of pure ice with density 917 kg/m3kg/m3 and entrained gravel from rock with density 2750 kg/m3kg/m3. Take the density of seawater to be 1030 kg/m3kg/m3. How much of its mass is rock? Express your answer in tonnes.1. Consider a horizontal layer of the dam wall of thickness dx located a distance x above the reservoir floor. What is the magnitude dF of the force on this layer that results from adding the water to the reservoir? Express your answer in terms of x, dx, the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity g, and any quantities from the problem introduction. 2. The force of the added water produces a torque on the dam. In a simple model, if the torque due to the water were enough to cause the dam to break free from its foundation, the dam would pivot about its base (point P). What is the magnitude τ of the torque about the point P due to the water in the reservoir? Express your answer in terms of quantities given in the problem introduction and the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity g.
