Answer:
39428.93 N/m²
Explanation:
Pressure: This can be defined as the force acting normally perpendicularly per unit area of surface. The S.I unit of pressure is N/m²
The pressure in a fluid is given as
P = ρgh............................. Equation 1
Where P = pressure, ρ = density, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity.
Note: The North Atlantic is an ocean, and it contains water
Given: h = 2.5 mile
If 1 mile =
1 609.344 meters,
Then 2.5 miles = (1609.344×2.5 ) m = 4023.36 m.
Constant: g = 9.8 m/s², ρ = density of water = 1.0 g/m³
Substituting these values into equation 1
P = 1×4023.36×9.8
p = 39428.93 N/m²
Thus the pressure at that depth = 39428.93 N/m²
