A swimmer is at the bottom of a pool. The density of the water in the pool is 1000 kg / m³ and the gravitational field strength is 9.8 N / kg. [diagram: pool with swimmer at bottom, depth 5.0 m, NOT TO SCALE] Which expression gives the pressure exerted on the swimmer due to the water?

1. A\frac{5.0 \times 1000}{9.8} \text{ Pa}
2. B5.0 \times 1000 \times 9.8 \text{ Pa}
3. C\frac{1000}{5.0} \text{ Pa}
4. D\frac{1000 \times 9.8}{5.0} \text{ Pa}
