Expert-verifiedReview. A solid sphere of brass (bulk modulus of ) with a diameter of is thrown into the ocean. By how much does the diameter of the sphere decrease as it sinks to a depth of ?
The decrease in diameter is .
The magnetic field,
The depth of ocean,
The diameter of sphere,
The radius is,
The pressure in a fluid is the force per unit area exerted by the fluid on a surface:
In the SI system, pressure has units of Newton’s per square meter , and .
Bulk modulus is given by,
role="math" localid="1663696968659"
Applying the formula of Bulk modulus here, you get
While pressure is,
Combining both, you get
Also diameter,
Therefore decrease in diameter is,
Hence, the decrease in diameter is .
