$550 kN$ $550"kN"$

Pressure = force/area

$:.$ Force = pressure x area.

$F=1,100xx10^3xx0.5=550,000"N"$

$F=550"kN"$

The water pressure at the bottom of the Marianas Trench is approximately 1,1001,1001,100 kPakPakPa. With how much force would the water pressure at the bottom of the Marianas Trench push on a fish with a surface area of .50.50.50 m^2m2m^2?
