Question

The greatest ocean depths on the Earth are found in the Marianas Trench, near the Philippines. Calculate the pressure due to the ocean, in atmospheres, at the bottom of this trench, given that its depth is 11.0 km and assuming the density of seawater is a constant 1.025 × 103 kg/m3 all the way down.

Step 1

- Depth of the Marianas Trench, \( h = 11.0 \, \text{km} = 11,000 \, \text{m} \) - Density of seawater, \( \rho = 1.025 \times 10^3 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \) - Acceleration due to gravity, \( g = 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) - Atmospheric pressure at sea level, \( P_0 = 1 \, Show more…
