The 2010 blowout in the Gulf of Mexico (Figure 116) occurred after the drilling operator replaced the drilling mud in the well with seawater during the final installation of the cement seals a) Assuming that the drilling mud had a density of 2160 kg/m (18 lbs/gal) and that the column of mud was 5486 m (18.000 ft) high, use the following relationship to calculate the pressure in kg/m-sec at the bottom of the well. The gravitational constant is 9.806 m/sec. Be sure to show your math, including the units pressure = (density of mud) x (gravitational constant) x (height of fluid column)
