Organisms of the oceans have a lesser salt content in their bodies than the sea water which has around 3.5% . The fluid could drain out of the body of the organism into the sea. This could be dangerous and fatal to the organism. How do they survive under such conditions?

A vessel, whose bottom has round holes with diameter of 1mm, is filled with water. Assuming that surface tension acts only at holes, find the maximum height (in cm) to which the water can be filled in the vessel without leakage, given that surface tension of water is 75 xx 10^(-3) N/m and g = 10m/ s^2

Quicklime and slaked lime are the cheapest and the most widely used bases for neutralising unwanted acids. Lime is used to neutralise acidic soils. A important application of quicklime is in air pollution control for the removal of SO_(2) in electric power plants. Slaked lime is used in the manufacture of other alkalis and bleaching powder, in sugar refining, in tanning hides and in water softening The drying agent which absorbs CO_(2) and reacts violently with water is

At a depth of 1000m in an ocean (a) What is the absolute pressure? (b) what is the gauge pressure? (c ) find the force acting on the window of area 20cm times 20 cm of a submarine at this depth, the interior of which is maintained at sea level atmospheric pressure. the density of sea water is 1.03 times 10^3 kg m^-3 . g=10 ms^-2
