Question

The Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench is the deepest known point in Earth's oceans. The Challenger Deep was first explored by humans when Jacques Piccard and Don Walsh descended in the Trieste bathyscaphe in 1960. They reached a depth of 10,916 meters (35,814 feet). Using the density of sea water as 1029 kg/m3. Find the pressure that is at this depth, give your answer in ATM units. Please give the full answer in scientific notation, if applicable, and round to two decimal places.

Answer 1

Hi,

Hope you are doing well.

__________________________________________________________________________

Given that,

Depth,

Density of water,

Atmospheric pressure,

Therefore, Pressure at the depth of the water is given by:

We have, 1 Pa = (1/101325) atm
