To explore the bottom of a 10-m-deep lake, your friend Tom proposes to get a long garden hose, put one end on land and the other in his mouth for breathing underwater, and descend into the depths. Susan, who overhears the conversation, reacts with horror and warns Tom that he will not be able to inhale when he is at the lake bottom. Why is Susan so worried?
Humans evolved in Earth's atmosphere, therefore the pressures interior to the body are relatively close to atmospheric pressure.
Because the differences between internal body pressures and atmospheric pressure are so small, individuals have a difficult time
gauging the magnitude of atmospheric pressure.
Suppose an individual is lying on his stomach with sheets of paper stacked on his back. If each sheet of paper has a mass of
0.00360 kg and is the standard letter size of 8.5 in by 11 in (0.216 m by 0.279 m), how many sheets must be stacked to produce a
pressure on his back equal to atmospheric pressure (roughly 101325 Pa)?

- A lost shipping container is found resting on the ocean floor and completely submerged. The container is 5.9 m long, 2.8 m wide, and 2.3 m high. Salvage experts attach a spherical balloon to the top of the container and inflate it with air pumped down from the surface. When the balloon's radius is 1.7 m, the shipping container just begins to rise towards the surface. What is the mass of the container? Ignore the mass of the balloon and the air within it. Do not neglect the buoyant force exerted on the shipping container by the water. The density of seawater is 1025 kg/m3.arrow_forwardA lost shipping container is found resting on the ocean floor and completely submerged. The container is 6.3 m long, 2.9 m wide, and 2.9 m high.
