    What Is the Net Inward Force on a Sinking Barrel?

    Homework Statement Suppose a cylindrical barrel falls off a ship and sinks to the bottom of the sea at a depth of 1.61 km. Assume that the seawater is incompressible, so that its density at the bottom of the sea is the same at the surface :1020 kg/m^3 If the pressure inside the barrel is...

    How Do You Calculate Net Inward Force on a Submerged Barrel?

    Help with fluid mechanics!? Suppose a cylindrical barrel falls off a ship and sinks to the bottom of the sea at a depth of 1.61 km. Assume that the seawater is incompressible, so that its density at the bottom of the sea is the same at the surface :1020 kg/m^3 If the pressure inside the...
