Pressure inside a tank of heavy water

AI Thread Summary
Raising the pressure inside a tank of heavy water by 1 atmosphere will increase the density of the water and may affect the structural integrity of the tank, depending on its material and design. The introduction of a giant inflatable dinosaur, when inflated, adds additional pressure and could lead to potential failure if the tank is not designed to withstand such forces. The discussion highlights the need for understanding the physical properties of heavy water and the implications of pressure changes. The scenario emphasizes the importance of considering both the fluid dynamics and the mechanical limits of the tank. Overall, the problem illustrates the relationship between pressure, volume, and material strength in a contained environment.

Is there more information to the problem?
 
No, but here is all of the text:
The Evil Physics Monkey takes a giant inflatable dinosaur down to the bottom of
the tank, ties him there, and inflates it, raising the pressure by 1 atmosphere. What happens
to the vat of heavy water (quantitatively)?
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'
Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
