A vertical off-shore structure is built ...

A vertical off-shore structure is built to withstand a a maximum stress of `10^(9)Pa`. Is the structure suitabel for putting upon top of an oil well in bombay high? Take the depth of the sea to be roughly 3 km, and ignore oceam currents.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Pressure at the depth in the sea is about `3 times 10^7 Pa` The structure is suitable since it can withstand far greater pressure or stress.
