Calculate the force exerted on a thresher shark's eye by the hydrostatic pressure in ocean water at a depth of 380 m. (Assume the water's mass density at this depth is 1000 kg/m3k.)

Explanation:

Given that,

The density of water, d = 1000 kg/m³

Depth, h = 380 m

We need to find the force exerted on a thresher shark's eye by the hydrostatic pressure in ocean water. The force exerted by the hydrostatic pressure is given by :

Put all the values,

Force exerted,

F = P/A

So,

Where

A is the area of crosss section

Hence, this is the required solution.
