The device installed on the bathyscaphe shows that the water pressure is 9.8 MPa. determine the immersion depth of the bathyscaphe.

Initial data: P (pressure exerted by water on the bathyscaphe) = 9.8 MPa = 9.8 * 10 ^ 6 Pa.

Reference values: g (acceleration due to gravity) = 9.81 m / s2; ρ (density of salt water) = 1030 kg / m3.

The immersion depth of the bathyscaphe can be determined from the formula for calculating the hydrostatic pressure: Р = ρ * g * h, whence h = Р / (ρ * g).

Let’s perform the calculation: h = 9.8 * 10 ^ 6 / (1030 * 9.81) ≈ 970 m.

Answer: The submersion depth of the bathyscaphe is 970 meters.
