What a great question ....
ReplyDeletefall with the same speed as the water is so dense? 10,000 meters?
because it was an interview question, I assume that the answer is not the reference material is indeed a best response
ReplyDeletedeepest part of the ocean, they know what I'm saying that the ditches are below sea level, not much bigger than the mountains on the label and say, can be 5 miles (about 25,000 feet)
Items must reach the terminal velocity in water very quickly, so that the ball at the same speed all the way
I did not place heavy objects in the water before it can be when a cannon-ball would be needed to reach the bottom of the pool (so deep about 10 yards visibility)
It seems that it could take approximately 1 seconds
then it may be a good choice
approximately 2500 seconds to the ocean
simple math, call 2400 seconds for the short final
It would, HM, 40 minutes
I would say between 1 / 2 hours at a time
