Pressure in a Liquid: The Tonga Trench in the Pacific Ocean is 36,000 feet deep. Assuming that sea water has an average density of 1.04 g/cm3, calculate the absolute (total) pressure at the bottom of the trench in atmospheres. (1.00 in = 2.54 cm, 1.00 atm = 1.01 × 105 Pa)

A. 1.1 × 103 atm
B. 1.1 × 108 atm
C. 1.1 × 105 atm
D. 1.1 × 106 atm
E. 2.1 atm
