Answer:
11995200 N/m²
Explanation:
Pressure: The is the ratio of force to the surface area in contact. The S.I unit of pressure is N/m².
Generally pressure in fluid can be expressed as
P = ρgh......................... Equation 1
Where P = maximum pressure on the submarine hull, ρ = Density of ocean, h = depth of ocean, g = acceleration due to gravity.
Given: h = 1200 m, ρ = 1020 kg/m³
Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²
Substitute into equation 1
P = 1200(1020)(9.8)
P = 11995200 N/m²
Hence the maximum pressure on the submarine hull = 11995200 N/m²
