The oxygen consumption rate of a 200 kg seal is 10 ml/(g h). If it has oxygen stores of 2 liters, then minutes can it dive before running completely out of oxygen is 0.06min.
Oxygen is one of the most vital element of the organism which is required by almost all the cellular and for all metabolic activities to perform body function.
It is consumed by the respiratory system and passed ro each cell by circulatory system of the body.
Given,
Mass of seal = 200kg = 200000 g
Rate of oxygen consumption = 10 ml/gh
The volume of stored O2 = 2000mL
The time of consumption is calculated as
t = V/mr
t = 2000/200000×10
t = 0.001 hrs
In minutes
t = 0.06min.
Thus 0.06min is required to dive out the oxygen stores of 2 litre.
