The maximum depth of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean is approximately 11,000 M.

The maximum depth of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean is approximately 11,000 M. Determine how much pressure the bathyscaphe will experience when it sinks to its bottom. The density of water is considered equal to 1030kg / m ^ 3

Given:

h = 11000 meters – the maximum depth of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean;

g = 9.8 meters per second squared – gravitational acceleration (constant value for the Earth’s surface;

ro = 1030 kilograms per cubic meter – the density of water.

It is required to determine P (Pascal) – the pressure that the bathyscaphe will experience when it sinks to the bottom.

To determine the pressure, you must use the following formula:

P = ro * g * h = 1030 * 9.8 * 11000 = 10094 * 11000 = 111034000 Pascal = 111 MPa.

Answer: the bathyscaphe will experience pressure equal to 111 MPa.
