Answer:

the pressure at the depth is 1.08 ×
10^(8) Pa

Step-by-step explanation:

The pressure at the depth is given by,

P = h
\rho g

Where, P = pressure at the depth

h = depth of the Pacific Ocean in the Mariana Trench = 36,198 ft = 11033.15 meter


\rho = density of water = 1000
(kg)/(m^(3) )

g = acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8
(m)/(s^(2) )

P = 11033.15 × 9.8 × 1000

P = 1.08 ×
10^(8) Pa

Thus, the pressure at the depth is 1.08 ×
10^(8) Pa
