A vertically-off shore structure is built to withstand a maximum stress of `10^9 Pa` is the structure suitable for putting up on top of an oil well in the ocean? Take the depth of the ocean to be roughly 3km. And ignore ocean 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.
