The pressure at the bottom of the ocean is great enough to crush submarines with steel walls that are ten
centimeters thick. Suppose a submarine is at a depth of 1,000 meters. The weight of water above each square
meter of the submarine is 9,800,000 newtons.

Respuesta :

Answer:

9800000N/m²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Depth of the submarine  = 1000m

Weight of the water above  = 9,800,000N per unit area

Unknown:

Pressure  = ?

Solution:

The pressure at this depth is the force or weight per unit area.

    Pressure  = [tex]\frac{Force }{Area}[/tex]  

    Pressure  = [tex]\frac{9800000}{1}[/tex]  

    Pressure  = 9800000N/m²
