Answer

(a) $995m$ (b) greater than

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $h=\frac{P-P_{atm}}{\rho_w g}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $h=\frac{(10N/mm^2)(\frac{10^3mm}{m})^2}{(1025)(9.81)}$ $h=995m$ (b) We know that the sea water is denser compared to fresh water. Hence, the maximum depth in fresh water is greater than in sea water.
