When a submarine dives to a depth of 5.0 × 102 m, how much pressure, in pa, must its hull be able to withstand? how many times larger is this pressure than the pressure at the surface?

Depth = 5.0 Ă— 10^2 m
 Density of sea water = 1.025 x 10^3
 Pd = Po + pgh
Atmospheric pressure is standard Patm = 1.01325 x 10^5 Pa
  Since the normal pressure is retained in the hull, no need to bother about Po Pd = pgh = 1.025 x 10^3 x 9.8 x 5.0 x 10^2 = 50.225 x 10^5
 So now Pd / Patm = 50.225 x 10^5 / 1.01325 x 10^5 = 49.56
 So it is 49.56 times larger.

Pressure is force over surface.
 p=F/S.
 In this case the force is given by the weight of the water G, so
 p = G/S; 
 G=m*g;
 m=ρ*V,
 V=S*h
 since we are interested only in the volume of water which presses on the surface of the submarine S, at depth h.
 So:
 p= ρ*S*h*g/S = ρ*g*h.
 This is the pressure at a certain depth h, exerted only by the water so we must add the atmospheric pressure p0.
 Therefore the total pressure is pt = p0 + ρ*g*h.
 We can see that when h=0, pt=p0 which is correct since at the surface we have only atmospheric pressure.
 The ratio pt/p0 = 1+ ρ*g*h/p0
 p0=101325 Pa 
 h = 500 m 
 g= 9.8 m/s^2 
 ρ = 1.025*10^3 kg/m^3. 
 We substitute in the equation and get pt/p0 = 50.56 .
 So the pressure at 500m depth is 50.56 times greater than at the surface.

Stars are born within the clouds of dust and scattered throughout most galaxies. a familiar example of such as a dust cloud is the orion nebula. turbulence deep within these clouds gives rise to knots with sufficient mass that the gas and dust can begin to collapse under its own gravitational attraction. as the cloud collapses, the material at the center begins to heat up. known as a protostar, it is this hot core at the heart of the collapsing cloud that will one day become a star. three-dimensional computer models of star formation predict that the spinning clouds of collapsing gas and dust may break up into two or three blobs; this would explain why the majority the stars in the milky way are paired or in groups of multiple stars.therefor, i would say the answer is: dust and gases contract.i hope this ! < 3
