Answer:
<em>The depth will be equal to</em> <em>6141.96 m</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
pressure on the submarine = 62 MPa = 62 x 10^6 Pa
we also know that = ρgh
where
ρ is the density of sea water = 1029 kg/m^3
g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2
h is the depth below the water that this pressure acts
substituting values, we have
= 1029 x 9.81 x h = 10094.49h
The gauge pressure within the submarine = 101 kPa = 101000 Pa
this gauge pressure is balanced by the atmospheric pressure (proportional to 101325 Pa) that acts on the surface of the sea, so it cancels out.
Equating the pressure , we have
62 x 10^6 = 10094.49h
depth h = <em>6141.96 m</em>
