A flat, rectangular stone at the bottom of the sea, 65.85 m below the surface, has dimensions 12.5 cm by 17.6 cm.

(a) What is the pressure exerted by the water on the stone? Themass density of salt water is 1041 kg/m^3.

(b) What is the force exerted by the water on the tile? (Make sure you do the appropriate conversions. 1 cm = 0.01 m. Also, you don't need to find the acceleration here. Force is related to pressure.)
