A newly discovered planet has a 1.2 km deep ocean. The gravitational acceleration on that planet is 5.20 m/s2. i) Assuming the ocean is filled with fresh water, determine the gauge pressure at the bottom of the ocean. ii) Determine the depth of the earth's ocean where a gauge would record similar pressure.
