At a depth of 1000 m in an ocean (a) what is the absolute pressure? (b) what is the auge pressure? (c ) Find the force acting on the windown of area 20 cm xx 20cm 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 xx 10^(3) kg m^(-3) , g=10ms^(-2) . Atmospheric pressure = 1.01 xx 10^(5) Pa .

On the surface of earth, the atmospheric pressure is minimum at the sea-level.

A submarine has a window of area 30 xx 30 cm^(2) on its ceiling and is at a depth of 100m below sea level in a sea. If the pressure inside the submarine is maintained at the sea-level atmosphere pressure, then the force acting on the window is (consider density of sea water = 1.03 xx 10^(3) kg//m^(3) , acceleration due to gravity = 10 m//s^(2)

Assertion : At high altitudes liquids boil at lower temperaturers in comparison to that of sea level. Reason : At high altitudes atmospheric pressure is low

What would be the height of the atmosphere if the air density (a) were uniform and (b) decreased linearly to zero with height? Assume that at sea level the air pressure is 1.0 atm and the air density is 1.3 kg/ m^(3)

The pressure of confined air is p. If the atmospheric pressure is P, then :-

The density of air in atomsphere decreases with height and can be expressed by the relation. rho=rho_(0)e^(-Ah) Where rho_(0) is the density at sea-level, A is a constant and h is the height. Calculate the atmospheric pressure at sea -level. assume g to be constant.
