Question

What is the pressure on a fish 12.3 m under the ocean surface? (Density of ocean water = 1025 kg/m3.) atm

Answer 1

Given data

*The given height under the ocean surface is h = 12.3 m

*The given density of ocean water is D = 1025 kg/m^3.

*The value of the acceleration due to the gravity is g = 9.8 m/s^2

The formula for the pressure on a fish 12.3 m under the ocean surface is given as

`p=Dgh`

Substitute the known values in the above expression as

`\begin{gathered} p=(1025)(9.8)(12.3) \\ =1.23*10^5\text{ Pa} \\ =1.21\text{ atm} \end{gathered}`
