To determine if the vertical offshore structure can withstand the pressure at a depth of 3 km in the sea, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the depth from kilometers to meters Given the depth of the sea is 3 km, we convert this to meters: \[ \text{Depth} = 3 \, \text{km} = 3 \times 10^3 \, \text{m} = 3000 \, \text{m} \] ...
