In 1960, the US Navy sent the submersible Trieste to the bottom of the Marianas Trench 11,000m deep. What was the force on the small 15cm diameter circular viewing window?

Answer:

P = d g h         pressure = density * g * depth

P = 1000 kg/m^3 * 9.8 m / s^2 * 1.1 * 10E4 m = 1.1 * 10E8 N/m^2

F = P * A = 1.1 * 10E8 N/m^2 * pi * .075^2 / m^2 = 1.9 * 10E6 N/m^2
