Question

The thresher shark has large eyes, about 0.10 min diameter.

Part A

Calculate the force exerted on a thresher shark's eye by the hydrostatic pressure in ocean water at a depth of 440 m . (Assume the water's mass density at this depth is1000 kg/m3 .)

Express your answer with the appropriate units.

The thresher shark has large eyes, about 0.10 min diameter.

Part A

Calculate the force exerted on a thresher shark's eye by the hydrostatic pressure in ocean water at a depth of 440 m . (Assume the water's mass density at this depth is1000 kg/m3 .)

Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Explanation / Answer

pressure = density*gh

P = 1000*10*440 = 44*10^5 pa

area = 3.14*0.05^2 = 0.00785 m^2

force = pressure*area= 44*10^5*0.00785 = 34540 N
