Calculate the depth in the ocean at which the

pressure is three times atmospheric pressure.

Atmospheric pressure is 1.013 * 10^5 Pa. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s^2 and the density of sea water is 1025 kg/m^3

Answer in units of m

    Assuming constant density, the pressure at a depth h is:

    P = Patm + ρgh

    3 (1.013*10⁵ Pa) = 1.013*10⁵ Pa + (1025 kg/m³) (9.81 m/s²) h

    h = 20.1 m
