Question
The deepest point in any ocean is in the Mariana Trench, which is about 11 km deep, in the Pacific. The pressure at this depth is huge, about 1.13x108 N/m2. (b) Calculate the NEW volume of 7.70 m3 of seawater carried from the surface to this deepest point. Note: For water, the bullk modulus is 0.21x1010 N/m2.
The deepest point in any ocean is in the Mariana Trench, which is about 11 km deep, in the Pacific. The pressure at this depth is huge, about 1.13x108 N/m2. (c) What is the % change in the volume of the7.70 m3 of seawater at this depth?
Note % change is calculated as ΔV/Vi *100%
(d) Is a good approximation to think of water as incompressible. Why?
