The Mariana trench is located in the Pacific Ocean at a depth of about 11 000 m below the surface of the water.
The Mariana trench is located in the Pacific Ocean at a depth of about 11 000 m below the surface of the water. The density of seawater is 1025 kg/m^3.  If an underwater vehicle were to explore such a depth, what force would the water exert on the vehicle's observation window (radius = 0.254 m)? For comparison, determine the weight of a jetliner whose mass is 1.17 times 10^5 kg.
