First of all, I would like to say hello to everyone! I am not sure that this is the right place to post this, or even the right forum. Looks like everyone is very knowledgeable here, and I hope someone can help me with some issues.
My name is Jim. I am with Spektrum Industries.
We specialize in many different industries; from Computer (IT) to Watercraft and Military applications.
We are currently working on a prototype of a submarine. We do not have anyone on board that can assist us in answering these questions.
However because we are in need of some help, if we are able to find someone that has the experience and knowledge in physics that is required for this, job they might have a position at our company.
1.) If you have a cylindrical shaped submarine 8 feet in diameter, and you are 33 feet under the water, what would be the pressure per square inch applied to the submarine?
2.) If the submarine changed depths from 33 feet to 66 feet, would the pressure per square inch double or be a completely different number?
3.) If the submarine is made of steel, 8 feet in diameter, 18 feet long, has rounded ends, and the steel is 1 inch thick, at what depth would it implode in salt water?
4.) With a regular plate glass window (like lexan glass - bullproof) 2 inches thick, and placed inline with the outside of the submarine, at what depth would this glass window experience issues?
Is there a depth at which the water would destroy the window. (Shear)
Thank you again in advance.
If this is not the right forum, and you know of another one, please advise.
Thank you.
Jim
