At a depth of ~4.000m (Wikipedia), the static pressusre would be
P = (rho*g*z) = 10^(3)kg/m^3 * 9.81m/s^2 * 4000m
P ~ 39 240 000 Pa
= 39.24 * 10^6 Pa

What can sink in water?
heavy objects than water can sink in water
I know about the freeze your bottle of water by shaking it or slamming it against a table but why and or how does it work?
It works if the water is supercooled, and the shock provides a nucleation site and a variance in pressure.
What causes the water in an artesian well to spout upwards?
The term artesian means that the water is contained in an underground aquifer and/or reservoir. The fact that it is spouting means that it has artesian pressure and is a flowingartesian well. The geology of the site determines the amount of pressure on the reservoir and not all artesian wells have enough, or any pressure to spout. The pressure comes from the weight of ground structures and ground water pressing on and around the underground reservoir.
Does deep sea have high air pressure or high water pressure?
High water pressure.
Why can't the Titanic be salvaged?
It's been under the water for so long if they took it out of water it would break. Also because things have been eating the titanic so it is really weak.
What year was the movie Titanic filmed?
In September 1995, Cameron began filming his dives to the Titanic wreck site far below the surface of the Atlantic. At that depth, the water pressure is 6,000 pounds per square inch.
What will happen if you swim to titanic?
You would drown. water pressure > air pressure. water either pushes air out or your lungs collapse. also, you don't have gills.
Why was shooters hill water tower built?
to store water where the there is a need for it ie a site of low water pressure so when there is high demand the pressure can be kept
Was there Glenns on the Titanic?
Try an on line site about the Titanic. There are passenger lists on these sites.
Who discovered the wreck of the Titanic site and when?

When was the titanic removed from the water?
It never has been, and probably never will be.
Why does the Titanic have chimleys?
The Titanic had funnels to get rid of low pressure steam after it had been used to drive the engines.
What was the water pressure in the Atlantic Ocean when the Titanic sunk?
The Titanic sank in some two and a half miles of water. Water pressure is measured at 15 lbs per 30 feet of depth. My math isn't the best but I calculate that as about 6000lbs per square inch. At pressures even less than this, the human body is crushed to a pulp. I recall the case of a sea salvage operator working in only 500 feet of water when his air line was cut. The pressure forced his entire body into his helmet.
How did the survivors of the titanic get the carpathias attention?
The Carpathia was actually on its way to the Titanic wreck site but since they're full speed ahead was only half of the Titanic's maximum speed, it took them 4 hours to reach the Titanic wreck site, which was 1 hour 20 minutes after the sinking.
