Question

The approximate depth of an ocean is 2700 m. The compressibility of water rs 45.4 x 10^-11 Pa^-1 and density of water is 10³ kg/m³. What fractional compression of water will be obtained at the bottom of the ocean?

(a) 1.2 x 10^-2

(b) 1.4 x 10^-2

(c) 0.8 x 10^-2

(d) 1.0 x 10^-2

Answer 1

Correct option (a) 1.2 x 10^-2

Explanation:

Depth of ocean d = 2700 m
