A small uncrewed submersible is used to work in deep water to explore and collect samples of the seabed. What is the pressure the submersible must be able to withstand while working at the bottom, given the depth of the sea floor is 6.70 km and assuming the density of seawater is 1.0273 g/cm3 and constant all the way down? (consider the atmospheric pressure, right above sea level, is 101.3 kPa and that g=9.80 m/s2)
