Question

The water pressure at the bottom of the Marianas Trench is approximately 1,150 kPa. With how much force would the water pressure at the bottom of the trench push on a fish with a surface area of 0.65-m2 ?

Answer 1

750 kN

Step-by-step explanation:

Pressure = force / area

P = F / A

1,150,000 Pa = F / 0.65 m²

F = 747,500 N

Rounded to two significant figures, the force is 750,000 N, or 750 kN.
