please dont write it in cursive as i cant read it

3. An occanographer is testing the acidity of the Atlantic oocan by placing a circular measuring device on the vertical face of the continental shelf. The measuring device has a radius of 1 meter and is placed so the top of the measuring device is exactly 125 meters below the surface. Calculate the hydrostatic force on the measuring device. Use 1024 kg/m2 for the density of the seawater in the Atlantic ocean, and 9.81m/s for the force of gravity. (15 points)

Answer 1

Hy drostatic force on device, (force due to water aboue it only) F = (Pressure at B due towater) (Area of device) = (Pw 9 d) a (1024 1g|m3) (9.81m182) TI(1m)2 Pressure B F = 31542.6N F = 3.15 x 10th
