(Oceanography) The pressure, P, exerted on an underwater object can be determined by this formula:

P= ?? gh

?? is the density of water, which is 100 kg/m3.

g is the acceleration caused by Earth's gravity, which is 9.8 m/s2.

h is the depth of the object in the water in meters.

a. Determine the units of P by caletilating the units resulting from the right side of the formula. Check that your answer corresponds to the units for pressure listed in ruble 1.1.

b. Determine the pressure on a submarine operating at a depth of500meters.

c.
