Figure 1 shows a deep-sea submersible used for exploring the seabed.

A simplified cross-section diagram of a spherical steel deep-sea submersible cabin underwater. Arrows point inwards representing the external water pressure on the hull, and arrows point outwards representing the internal cabin air pressure.

The water pressure acting on the outside of the submersible's hull is 360 000 Pa360\ 000\text{ Pa}360 000 Pa.

The air pressure inside the cabin is maintained at 102 000 Pa102\ 000\text{ Pa}102 000 Pa.

Calculate the pressure difference between the outside and the inside of the submersible.
