you wrap a 10 oz styrofoam cup in a cloth & lower it to   1500' in the ocean, what would happen to the cup?

It would shrink to about 20% of it's size as the air in the styrofoam was compressed.

If you are able to do that it will become water.Not more than that

Each time you fold it, it doubles in thickness and halves it surface area.\n\n0.1mm x 2 ^ 40 = 109,951.1627776 km\n\n(68,320 miles)\n\nThat means that the piece of paper would be so thick that it would reach to the Ionosphere (well past the ozone layer!)\n\nAlthough the thickness of the paper would be huge, the surface would be tiny. Say you had a large sheet of paper\n1m x 1m (3'4" x 3'4")\n\n1(m^2) / 2 ^ 40 = (m^2) = 0.90949 (μm)^2\n\n(0.0000000014097 square inch)\n\nSo basically your talking about a large piece of paper that now has such a small surface as to become invisible and so thick that it may get hit by international aircraft!\n\nThat is ridiculous and impossible! Incidentally, no paper can be folded more than 8 times.

The test liquid will sink to the bottom because it is more dense than water. Water has a density of 1.0 g/ml. There fore it can be simply thought of as "lighter."\n\nThere will be two visible separate layers.

the density or any other property of an object sinking in water does not immediately change.  at some point the ball might rust, but that's another argument.\n\nthe force acting on the ball as it sinks will grow exponentially with respect to depth, but the ball itself will be no different at the bottom of Marianna's Trench or the bottom of a drinking glass.\n\nPS, the earth's crust is no more than 30 miles thick in the thickest places, with about 7 miles in the deepest place in the ocean, so you cannot have a hundred miles of depth in any ocean.  good idea though!

On the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle is a massive natural gass deposit.  When it bubbles up under a ship it causes the ship to loose it's ability to displace water around it, causing the boat to sink.  If something like a plane flies overhead during the release of this gas the engines will overheat and fail, causing the plane to crash into the ocean below.  Any more questions?

This is potentially a massive and complex task.\nSearch the web for "computational fluid dynamics".  Here's what I found in a couple of minutes:\nThe 1st ref. below has some interesting simulation ideas (but unfortunately for a liquid, not air).\nThe next discusses things you should know before even deciding whether to do this.\nThe last gives links to software downloads.

how long is  apeice of string???\nwouldnt it be good to see what is lurking at the bottom of the sea. could be a whole new world!! (well you never know!)

wrap it in bubble wrap then in card board throw as close to 45 degrees and it will go the furthest

It really depends on the conditions.  If there was high humidity, the cotton would deteriorate fast.  If there was a lack of humidity, but high temperatures, the polyester would break down faster.  Either way, it would be covered in mold, and quite likely tattered.

Into the abyss of course........:)\n\n*runs to the blog to go copy her answer from there*\n\nLovely picture by the way, but it has scared me from ever boarding the Mayflower. Thank goodness I'll never have to. I would have looked horrendous in the pilgrim shoes anyway. But enough rambling......let me get to the question.\n\nThe ships would all fall into the abyss. What if....the fall was neverending? What if they just kept falling with no where to land? would the water keep running too? would it lead to another land? Is this where "neverland" is? Or do we fall and fall into a nothingness? Or will we fall and land on the River Styx? \n\nWe know the ocean water has to return other wise the earth would be drained and before long draught would be the next issue after global warming. So my thoughts are crazy but that the water falls and falls and falls until it hits a warp that sucks it back up and into the earth yet again similar to the way a fountain works. A never ending cycle. But if so........what could possibly be at the bottom of the abyss??? One shall never know. *sigh*

They would point away from the wind.  It would freeze solid before hitting the ground.  The waste product could then be broken off and disposed of in the nearest trash can.

No. You'd fall through it. It's just water molecules. It sounds cool though!

in the unconstrained case (no floor), water from the lowest hole will reach the furtherest given enough time (vertical space to drop). With a vertical constraint (a floor), the optimal coverage will be from a hole one third the way up from the floor, not the top hole near the surface of the water, and not a hole at floor level.\n\nAlthough I really don't see how this applies to wind sailing:-)

I would think it would be the depths of the oceans up to about 5 miles into the atmosphere around the entire earth

Anything warmer than the air temperature will be affected\n\nMeaning more heat will be lost from the warm object if there is  wind. The wind moves the lost heat away from the object.

if the objects not close to any celestial body, it just 'floats'. like a bottle in the ocean.
