The Mariana trench is located in the Pacific Ocean at a depth of about 11 000 m below the surface of the water.
The Mariana trench is located in the Pacific Ocean at a depth of about 11 000 m below the surface of the water. The density of seawater is 1025 kg/m^3.  If an underwater vehicle were to explore such a depth, what force would the water exert on the vehicle's observation window (radius = 0.254 m)? For comparison, determine the weight of a jetliner whose mass is 1.17 times 10^5 kg.

In C++ Prototype your functions above "main" and define them below "main"; Write a program that uses two identical arrays of at least 20 integers. It should call a function that uses the bubble sort algorithm to sort one of the arrays in ascending order. The function should keep count of the number of exchanges it makes. The program then should call a function that uses the selection sort algorithm to sort the other arrays. It should also keep count...
