Homework Statement
The deepest point in the ocean is in the Mariana Trench, about 11 km deep. The pressure at that point is huge, about 1.13 x108 N/m2.
(a) The deepest point in the ocean is in the Mariana Trench, about 11 km deep. The pressure at that point is huge, about 1.13 x108 N/m2.
(b) The density of water at the surface is 1.03 x103 kg/m3. Find its density at the bottom.
Homework Equations
P=B(ΔV/V)
The Attempt at a Solution
a. 1.13 x108 N/m2 = -(2.15 x109 Pa)(ΔV/(1.00 m3))
ΔV = -0.053 m3
b. Since water is not compressible, shouldn't the density be the same at the bottom of the ocean as the top?
