By means of physiological adaptations that are still not very well understood, sperm whales are thought to be able to hunt for their food at depths of between 430 m and 2900 m.
What range of gauge pressures (in Pa ) do the whales withstand at these depths? Express your answers using two significant figures separated by a comma. Part B What range of gauge pressures (in atm) do the whales withstand at these depths? Express your answers using two significant figures separated by a comma.
Estimate the total inward force of water pressure on the surface of a sperm whale at a depth of 2900 m, modeling the whale as a cylinder 16 m long and 4 m in diameter. Express your answer to one significant figure and include the appropriate units.
