Max Depth of Submarine Modeling: 80kpa

AI Thread Summary
To model the maximum depth a submarine can reach under a pressure of 80 kPa, it's essential to understand hydrostatic pressure, which increases with depth. The pressure at a given depth can be calculated using the formula P = ρgh, where ρ is the density of water, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the depth. Since 1 meter of water corresponds to approximately 10 kPa, a maximum pressure of 80 kPa allows for a depth of about 8 meters. Integrals are not necessary for this calculation, as the relationship is straightforward. Understanding these principles will help in formulating the required equation for the project.

Hello, I'm working on a project, and my teacher gave me something to think about, but I am at a loss. He wants me to come up with an equation to model the maximum height a submarine can go underwater, if it can withstand a maximum pressure of 80kpa. I started thinking it was an integral problem, integ(dP/dz) but I'm not sure. Any help would be much appreciated.

How does hydrostatic pressure depend on depth? (It's simpler than you think.)
 
it would be very cool if you solve that with integrals, but its a lot more than you need, really
 
What they said. No integrals required.

1m head of water = 0.1bar = 10kpa
 

Thread 'Off resonant driving of a MW/RF cavity'

Hello! Let's say I have a cavity resonant at 10 GHz with a Q factor of 1000. Given the Lorentzian shape of the cavity, I can also drive the cavity at, say 100 MHz. Of course the response will be very very weak, but non-zero given that the Loretzian shape never really reaches zero. I am trying to understand how are the magnetic and electric field distributions of the field at 100 MHz relative to the ones at 10 GHz? In particular, if inside the cavity I have some structure, such as 2 plates...
