the average depth ofindian ocean is about 3000m.Thevalue of frictional compression((DeltaV)/V) of water at the bottom of the ocean is (given that the bulk modulus of water is (2.2xx10^(9)Nm^(-2),g=9.8ms^(-2),PH_(2)O=1000kg.m^(-3)) |

Answer» Solution :The pressureexertedby a 3000 m columnof wateron the BOTTOM layer `p=h rho g=3000 m xx 1000 kg m^(-3) xx 10ms^(-2)` `=3xx10^(7)Nm^(-2)` FRACTIONAL COMPRESSION `DeltaV//V`, is `DeltaV//V = "stress" //B=(3xx10^(7))//(2.2xx10^(9)) ` `=1.36 xx 10^(-2) or 1.36%` |
