Chapter 1, Problem 38P(choose chapter or problem)
As shown in Fig. P1.38, an underwater exploration vehicle submerges to a depth of \(1000 \mathrm{ft}\). If the atmospheric pressure at the surface is \(1 \mathrm{~atm}\), the water density is \(62.4 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{ft}^3\), and \(g=32.2 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}^2\), determine the pressure on the vehicle, in atm.
