So (hope I get this right), if the air pressure inside chambers 2 and 3 is ~14psi, then the pressure needs to be 999psi+14psi to make the seal fail.
He said though given that this wasn't specified in the problem description that it may not apply to the problem at hand. He also said that different gas mixtures can also have different effects but that the "gas" pressure is the key. If it was a vacuum then failure would occur. |
Physics and Chemistry are about two of the only things I am good at.
I did wonder about internal air pressure but since nothig was mentioned about the pressure inside the cabins I just left it out as a non-factor. Talking in simple terms though, the thing is junk the second you put it in the water. LOL
Waste of good metal.:rotfl:
