Pressure in the Marianas Trench

The Marianas Trench, a region at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, is believed to be the deepest spot on the ocean floor. In 1960, a U.S. Navy submersible vehicle went to a spot in this trench that is 10,700 m below sea level. Suppose this submarine had a tiny window of area 1.0 cm2 so that sailors could enjoy the view. Find the force on this window due to the water pressure.
