Short Answer

The deepest point in the ocean is in the Mariana Trench, about 11 km deep, in the Pacific. The pressure at this depth is huge, about 1.13 3 108 N/m2.

(a) Calculate the change in volume of 1.00 m3 of seawater carried from the surface to this deepest point.

(b) The density of seawater at the surface is 1.03 3 103 kg/m3. Find its density at the bottom.

(c) Explain whether or when it is a good approximation to think of water as incompressible.

a) the change in volume =1,128.987×105 N/m2

b) B is the bulk modules of sea water is as follows:

B=2.34×109 N/m2

c) Bulk modules are familiar to us. =(1,128.987×105 N/m2)×(0.9 m3)2.34×109 N/m2

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1:

In the surface pressure is Ps=1.013×105 N/m2

In the depth pressure is Pd=1.13×108 N/m2

pressure variation

Δp=PSPd=1.13×1081.013×105=1,128.987×105 N/m2

B is the bulk modules of sea water is as follows:

B=2.34×109 N/m2

Bulk modules are familiar to us.

B=(Δp)v0ΔvΔv=(ΔP)v0B=(1,128.987×105 N/m2)×(0.9 m3)2.34×109 N/m2
