In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Pressure according to the Force and the Area as well as to the pressure depending on the density, gravity and height.
In the first instance we know that the pressure can be defined as
Where
F= Force
A = Mass
In the second instance the pressure can also be defined as
Where,
Density of Fluid at this case Water
g = Gravitational Acceleration
h = Height
If we develop the problem to find the pressure then,
Through the second equation we can find the depth to which it can be submerged,
Re-arrange to find h
