Sea water has density

1.03 \times 10^{3}\,\text{kg/m}^3

. Assuming the sea water behaves as an incompressible fluid, what is the gauge pressure at a depth of

25\,\text{m}

below the surface? (Take

g = 9.8\,\text{m/s}^2

.) (a)

1.3 \times 10^{5}\,\text{Pa}

(b)

3.5 \times 10^{5}\,\text{Pa}

(c)

2.5 \times 10^{5}\,\text{Pa}

(d)

2.5 \times 10^{4}\,\text{Pa}
