1.	The approximate depth of an ocean is 2700m. The compressibility of water is 45.4xx10^(-11) Pa and density of water is 10^(3) kg. What fractional compression of water will be obtained the bottom of the ocean?
Answer» <P> SOLUTION :Bulk modulus `B = (Delta P)/(-((DeltaV)/(V)))` Compressibility `K =1/B = (-((DeltaV)/(V)))/(DELTAP)` `(DeltaV)/(V) = - K DeltaP = - K h rho g =- 45.4 xx 10^(-11) xx 2700 xx 10^(3) xx 10` `(DeltaV)/(V) = -1.226 xx 10^(-2)`.
