Bubble Hydrodynamics: Find Numerical Solution to Air Bubble at 20m Depth

AI Thread Summary
At a depth of 20 m, an air bubble with a volume of 1 liter will experience decreasing pressure as it rises, causing its volume to increase according to the ideal gas law (P1V1 = P2V2). The buoyant force acting on the bubble, which depends on the volume of displaced water, increases as the bubble ascends, leading to an increase in its velocity. To calculate the bubble's velocity and acceleration, the net force must be considered, primarily the weight of the displaced water, as the weight of the bubble itself is negligible. The discussion emphasizes the need for numerical methods to determine these values accurately. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for predicting the bubble's behavior as it moves towards the surface.

Diver at a depth of 20 m below the water breaths 1 liter of air. With what acceleration the air bubble begins to move against the surface ,how his speed varies with time and what is its volume at a depth of 5 m? The water temperature is 20° C. Part of a solution will be need to find numerically.

Thanks in advance

As the bubble rises, pressure on it decreases. Volume increases.
Bouncy force on the bubble depends on the displaced liquid. As bubble rises volume increases, bouncy force increases. Hence the velocity of the bubble increases.
Since temperature of the water remains constant, you can find the volume at 5 m by using P1V1 = P2V2. Here P1 and P2 are the total pressure at 20m and 5 m.
 
But, how do you get velocity of a bubble?
 
Nobody knows how you get a velocity and acceleration of a bubble?
 
Part of a solution will be need to find numerically

So they are not expecting the values of velocity and accceleration.
If you want you can find out, net force on the bubble is the weight of the displaced water which is not constant. Weight of the bubble is negligible compared to the weight of the displaced liquid. You can find the weight of the bubble at the depth of 5 m by knowing the volume and density of the air at 20 degree C. Now see whether you can proceed.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
