Question

The water pressure at the bottom of the Marianas Trench is approximately 1,100 kPa. With how much force would the water pressure at the bottom of the Marianas Trench push on a fish with a surface area of 0.50 m^2?​

Answer 1

550 kN

Step-by-step explanation:

Force is equal to pressure times area.

F = AP

F = (0.50 m²) (1,100,000 Pa)

F = 550,000 N

F = 550 kN
