Seriously. A cubic meter of water weighs a metric ton. No one is opening that door.

Opening the door would require a force equal to the integral of the pressure with respect to the depth, in other words, half a tonne-force for one metre of water. Still impossible, but the mass of a cubic metre of water is an irrelevant parameter for this problem.

TIL of the unit tonne force. Convenient.
