A question for forumers: How long would it take in minutes for a marble dropped from the surface to reach the floor of the lowest trench in the ocean - around 11 kilometers?
No looking it up on the internet. If you get within 10 minutes I'll be awarding points, & points mean prizes. I'll give it a couple of days to run.
An additional question for someone more scientifically knowledgeable than me - would the marble sink at a uniform rate throughout it's descent? The pressure rises the deeper you go but would higher pressure, which gets immense at depth, slow descent or have no effect?
