You're travelling with friends in Cape Town and decide to explore the beautiful area of Hout Bay. You decide to go on the glass bottom boat cruises as a special treat. During the cruise, the host tells you about the history of the area and the shipwrecks that still lay visible. You look down and see something remarkably. It appears to be approximately 13.716 m (45ft). What is the actual depth?

Oceans cover 71% of the surface of the Earth, and have an average depth of 3700 m. The planet has an average radius of 6370 km, so that the oceans form a very thin layer overall! The deepest known part of the ocean is the Mariana Trench, north of Papua New Guinea and east of the Phillipines, with a depth of almost 11000 m. If Mount Everest was placed at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, it would still be submerged by more than 2000 m! Estimate the volume of water contained in all of the oceans on Earth, and give the result in SI units. Be sure to state your assumptions with your calculation. Oceans
In 1960, the U.S. Navy’s bathyscaphe Trieste (a submersible) descended to a depth of nearly 11 km in the Marianas Trench near the Philippines in the Pacific Ocean. Instead of a large viewing window, it had a small circular window 15 cm in diameter. What is your explanation for so small a window?
A 2.4 cm thick bar of soap is floating in water,with 2.160 cm of the bar underwater. Bathoil with a density of 895.2 kg/m3is added andfloats on top of the water. What is the depth of the oil layer when thetop of the soap is just level with the uppersurface of the oil?Answer in units of m.
Two streams from a river . One stream has a width of 8.2 m , depth of 3.4 m , and current speed of 2.3 m/san . The other stream is 6.8 m wide , 3.2 m deep , and flows at 2.6 m/san . The width of the river is 10.5 m and the current speed is 2.9 m/san . What is its depth?
A 2.00 m by 3.00 m plate of aluminum has a mass of 324 kg. What is the thickness of the plate? (The density of aluminum is 2.70 x103 kg/m3.)
A cylindrical tank with a large diameter is filled with water to a depth D = 0.235 m. A hole of cross-sectional area A = 6.96 cm2 in the bottom of the tank allows water to drain out. (a) What is the rate at which water flows out, in cubic meters per second? (b) At what distance below the bottom of the tank is the cross-sectional area of the stream equal to one-half the area of the hole?
You are preparing your house for a party with your classmates and friends, and want to set up an impressive light display to entertain them. From your study of fluids, you have come up with the idea based on the water flowing from the tank in the figure. You set up the tank as shown in the figure, filled to a depth h = 1.14 m, and sitting on a stand of height ℓ = 0.300 m. You punch a hole in the tank at a height of y1 = 0.107 m above the stand. (Ignore the thickness of the tank in your calculation.) You want to punch a second hole higher on the tank so that the streams of water from the two holes arrive at the same position on the table, in a catch basin at a distance d from the right edge of the stand. A pump will continuously carry water from the catch basin back up to the top of the tank to keep the water level fixed. Then, you will use laser pointers on the left side of the tank to light the two streams of water, which will capture the light (see the section on total internal…
You purchase a rectangular piece of metal that has dimensions 5.0 x 15.0 x 30.0 mm and mass 0.0158 kg. The seller tells you that the metal is gold. To check this, you compute the average density of the piece. What value do you get? Were you cheated? Note that the density of gold isp = 19.3 x103 kg/m3
A electroA 6.50x109 pg object is placed in a graduated cylinder with 5.560x10-8 dm3 of water. If the object has a density of 7.23 g/mL, what is the final volume (in \muμm3) of the water in the graduated cylinder?
(I) State your mass and then estimate your volume. [Hint: Because you can swim on or just under the surface of the water in a swimming pool, you have a pretty good idea of your density.]
the Mariana trench is the deepest known point on earth. with a depth of 10984m. what is the depth pressure at the bottom of the trench if the mass density of salt water is 1030kg/m^3
Object 1 has an irregular shape. Its density is 4000 kg/m3.a. Object 2 has the same shape and dimensions as object 1, but it is twice as massive. What is the density of object 2?b. Object 3 has the same mass and the same shape as object 1,but its size in all three dimensions is twice that of object 1. What is the density of object 3?
