What is the hydrostatic pressure at 20,000 leagues under the sea? (a league is the distance a person can walk in one hour) ?) 40 kPa b) 100 ps? c) 1300 Pad) 2000 psi e) none of these answers

Answer:

alternative E- none of these answers

Explanation:

Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted by a fluid at equilibrium at a given point within the fluid, due to the force of gravity. Hydrostatic pressure increases in proportion to depth measured from the surface because of the increasing weight of fluid exerting downward force from above.

The formula is :

P= d x g x h

p: hydrostatic pressure (N/m²)

d: density (kg/m³) density of seawater is 1,030 kg/m³

g: gravity (m/s²) ≅ 9.8m/s²

h: height (m)
