What is the force of pressure acting on a diver when he is immersed in the sea to a depth of 50 m?

The hydrostatic pressure of seawater on a diver at a depth of 50 m can be calculated using the formula:
Р = ρ * g * h, where ρ is the density of seawater (from the table of densities of liquids we determine that the density of seawater is ρ = 1030 kg / m³), g is the acceleration of gravity (we take g = 10 m / s²), h – the depth of the diver’s immersion (h = 50 m).
Let’s calculate the value of the hydrostatic pressure of seawater:
P = ρ * g * h = 1030 * 10 * 50 = 515000 Pa = 515 kPa.
Answer: The seawater pressure will be 515 kPa.
