A certain rigid aluminum container contains a liquid at a gauge pressure of P0 = 2.02 × 105 Pa at sea level where the atmospheric pressure is Pa = 1.01 × 105 Pa. The volume of the container is V0 = 4.4 × 10-4 m3. The maximum difference between the pressure inside and outside that this particular container can withstand before bursting or imploding is ΔPmax = 2.26 × 105 Pa. For this problem, assume that the density of air maintains a constant value of rhoa = 1.20 kg / m3 and that the density of seawater maintains a constant value of rhos = 1025 kg / m3.What is the maximum height h in meters above the ground that the container can be lifted before bursting?

Answer:

[tex]dz=19217687.07\ m[/tex]

Explanation:

Given:

  • initial gauge pressure in the container, [tex]P_0=2.02\times 10^{5}\ Pa[/tex]
  • atmospheric pressure at sea level, [tex]P_a=1.01\times 10^5\ Pa[/tex]
  • initial volume, [tex]V_0=4.4\times 10^{-4}\ m^3[/tex]
  • maximum pressure difference bearable by the container, [tex]dP_{max}=2.26\times 10^{5}\ Pa[/tex]
  • density of the air, [tex]\rho_a=1.2\ kg.m^{-3}[/tex]
  • density of sea water, [tex]\rho_s=1.2\ kg.m^{-3}[/tex]

The relation between the change in pressure with height is given as:

[tex]\frac{dP_{max}}{dz} =\rho_a.g_n[/tex]

where:

dz = height in the atmosphere

[tex]g_n[/tex]= standard value of gravity

Now putting the respective values:

[tex]\frac{2.26\times 10^{5}}{dz} =1.2\times 9.8[/tex]

[tex]dz=19217.687\ km[/tex]

[tex]dz=19217687.07\ m[/tex]

Is the maximum height above the ground that the container can be lifted before bursting. (Since the density of air and the density of sea water are assumed to be constant.)
