Answer

$P=7.3atm$

Work Step by Step

The required pressure can be determined as follows: First, we convert the given density into $Kg/m^3$ $d=\frac{0.867g}{cm^3}\times\frac{1Kg}{1000g}\times \frac{(100)^3cm^3}{(1)^3m^3}$ This simplifies to: $d=867Kg/m^3$ Now $P=hdg$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $P=87m\times 867Kg/m^3\times 9.807m/s^2$ This simplifies to: $P=7.3973\times 10^5Pa$ This pressure in $atm$ can be converted as $P=7.3973\times 10^5Pa\times\frac{1KPa}{1000Pa}\times \frac{1atm}{101.325KPa}$ This simplifies to: $P=7.3atm$
