Hello,

Can someone please solve this problem? I am having trouble.

Thank you so much

**Pressure in the Oceans and the Impact on Research Vessels** 1. **Pressure at Different Ocean Depths:** - What is the pressure at the surface of the oceans? - What is the pressure at the average depth of the oceans? - What is the pressure at the depth of the deepest oceanic trenches? 2. **Compression of Materials:** - At those depths, by how much is a square (side L) piece of aluminum compressed? This information is crucial for understanding the challenges faced by research vessels operating at various depths in the ocean.
