- At 25.0 m below the surface of the sea, where the temperature is 5.00C, a diver exhales an air bubble having a volume of 1.00 cm3. If the surface temperature of the sea is 20.0C, what is the volume of the bubble just before it breaks the surface?arrow_forwardWhen the length L of aclock pendulum is held constant by controlling its temperature,the pendulum’s period T depends on the acceleration of gravity g.The period will therefore vary slightly as the clock is moved fromplace to place on Earth’s surface, depending on the change in g.By keeping track of DELTA T, we can estimate the variation in g fromthe equation T = 2π(L/g)1/2 that relates T, g, and L. A clock with a 100-cm pendulum is moved from a location where g = 980 cm/sec2 to a new location. This increases the period by dT = 0.001 sec.
