    1.88 N

    Explanation:

    h = 3.2 m, A = 0.6 cm^2 = 0.6 x 10^-4 m^2

    density of water, d = 1000 kg/m^3, g = 9.8 m/s^2

    Pressure at depth h, P = h x d x g = 3.2 x 1000 x 9.8 = 31.36 x 10^3 Pa

    Force = pressure x Area = 31.36 x 10^3 x 0.6 x 10^-4 = 1.88 N

    Thus, the force on ear drum is 1.88 N.
