A fluid exerts pressure in all directions, but the pressure is greater at greater depth.  Having read the above passage, choose the right answer to the following question (choices are 500 feet or or 1500 feet? ):   We are designing a submarine to study fish that live far below the surface of the ocean. Before we can send a human researcher down in the submarine, we have to be sure it can tolerate the pressure of the water without cracking. The tougher test will be to send our submarine down to 500 feet or or 1500 feet??
The answer to this question is:
