Question 16

The surface area of an experimental submarine's observation hatch is 0.15 m2.

Calculate the force exerted on the hatch by the water pressure of 120,000 Pa120,000\text{ Pa}120,000 Pa.

Use the equation:

pressure=forcearea \text{pressure} = \frac{\text{force}}{\text{area}} pressure=areaforce​
