Abasketball is pressurized to a gauge pressure of pg= 55 kpa when at the surface of a swimming pool. (pam= 101 kpa). the ball is then submerged in the pool of water which has a density = 1000 kg/m". assume the ball does not change in mass, temperature, or volume as it is submerged.
a. calculate the absolute pressure inside the basketball in kpa when it is at the surface.
b. as the ball is submerged the absolute pressure in the ball
c. as the ball is submerged the pressure outside the ball
d. write an equation for the pressure difference ap between the inside and outside of the ball when it is submerged a distance y below the surface of the water.
e. solve the pressure equation for the depth (in meters) at which the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the ball will become zero. at this depth, the pressure inside the basketball is the same as the pressure outside the ball.
