Answer:
277983.465 N
Explanation:
[tex]\rho[/tex] = Density of seawater = [tex]1030\ kg/m^3[/tex]
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
h = Depth = 29 m
w = Force = 390 N
A = Area = [tex]0.95\ m^2[/tex]
Force in the system would be
[tex]F=(\rho gh)A-w\\\Rightarrow F=(1030\times 9.81\times 29)\times 0.95-390\\\Rightarrow F=277983.465\ N[/tex]
The downward force must they exert on the hatch to open it is 277983.465 N
