Question

The Greatest ocean depths on the earth are found in the Marianas Trench near the Phillippines , Where the depth of the bottom of the trench is about 11.0 km. Calculate the pressure due to the ocean at the depth of 9.5 km, assuming seawater density is constant all the way down.

Calculate the pressure due to the ocean at the depth of 9.5 km, assuming seawater density is constant all the way down.

Explanation / Answer

pressure at the surface of ocean is

P = 10^5 Pa

pressure at a depth h will be

P = 10^5 + density x g x h

P = 10^5 + 1000x9.8x9500

P = 93200000 Pa
