Question

A solid gold bar is pulled up from the hold of the sunken RMS
Titanic. (a) What happens to its volume as it goes from the pressure at the
ship to the lower pressure at the ocean’s surface? (b) The pressure difference
is proportional to the depth. How many times greater would the volume
change have been had the ship been twice as deep? (c) The bulk modulus of
lead is one-fourth that of gold. Find the ratio of the volume change of a solid
lead bar to that of a gold bar of equal volume for the same pressure change.
