pearl divers from Ceylon can go down to a depth of 17 fathoms without breathing gear. convert this depth to meters(1 fathom=6 feet. What is the the weight density for water and how much water pressure is on them at that depth.
Homework Answers
1 fathom=6 feet
So, 17 fathoms = 17*6 ft = 102 ft
Now, 1 ft = 0.3048 m
So, 17 fathoms = 102*0.3048 m = 31.1 m (answer)
Density of water = 1000 kg/m^3 (ans)
Pressure = density*g*h
= 1000*9.8*31.1
= 304,679 Pa (ans)

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes a time of 2.90s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.630m . The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 5.60m apart. Part A How much is the wavelength? express your answers in 3 sig. fig. Part B...

The next three questions all go together. 21. Expired air is saturated with water vapor and generally contains more of it than does inspired air. There is usually a net loss of water from the body due to breathing. Water vapor pressure in the at saturation in the lungs (at 37°C) is 47 mmHg, while in expired air at 33°C it is 37.7 mmHg. Consider the case of someone who is breathing dry air in and moist air out at...
