Answer:

  3.73 m

Step-by-step explanation:

1375 mm Hg corresponds to a pressure of 18693.264 kgf/m^2.

Dividing that by the density will give the depth allowed, which is the diameter of the sphere:

  (18693.264 kgf/m^2)/(5010 kgf/m^3) ≈ 3.73 m

The sphere can be up to 3.73 m in diameter.

_____

1 kgf is the force produced by a 1 kg mass in Earth's gravity field, about 9.8 N.
