Answer:
The pressure is 107417976.4 N[tex]m^{-2}[/tex]
Explanation:
The pressure of water at a given height/ depth can be determined by:
Pressure = σhg
Where: σ is the density of water, h is the height/ depth, and g is the gravitational force.
Given that; h = 10994 m, but σ = 997 kg/[tex]m^{3}[/tex] and g = 9.8 m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex]
Thus, the pressure of water at the deepest part of the ocean will be:
Pressure = 997 x 10994 x 9.8
= 997 x 107741.2
= 107417976.4
Pressure = 107 420 KN[tex]m^{-2}[/tex]
The pressure of water at 10994 m below the surface is 107417976.4 N[tex]m^{-2}[/tex]
