Answer:

The submarine's maximum safe depth in sea water is 801.678 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

P=Po+(rho)*g*h

Max Pressure = Initial Pressure + (Water Density)(Gravity)(Max Depth)

Area of Window = Pi*(Diameter/2)^2 = Pi*(.4m/2)^2 = 0.125664 m^2

Max Pressure= (1.0*10^6 N)/(0.125664 m^2)= 7.95775-E6 Pa

Initial Pressure= 1atm= 101.3kPa= 101300Pa

Water Density (rho) = 1000kg/m^3

Gravity= 9.8m/s^2

So rearranging for h= (P-Po)/((rho)*g)

h=((7.95775-E6Pa)-(101300Pa))/((1000kg/m^3)(9.8m/s^2))= 801.678 m
