What is the change in density of water at a depth of 400 m?

AI Thread Summary
To determine the change in density of water at a depth of 400 m, the initial density is given as 1030 kg/m³ and the bulk modulus is 2 x 10⁹ N/m². The relevant equation for new density involves the change in pressure (dP) and the bulk modulus (B). There is uncertainty about whether to use the surface density for calculating dP or if integration is necessary due to varying density with depth. The pressure can be calculated using the formula P = h × surface density × g. Understanding these calculations is crucial for accurately determining the density change at that depth.

Bulk modulus question...please help

Homework Statement


What is the change in density of water in a lake at a depth of 400 m below the surface? The density of water at the surface is 1030 kg/m3 and bulk modulus of water is 2*109 Nm2


Homework Equations


For fluid
New Density= Initial density*(1/1-dP/B)
dP=change in pressure and B=bulk modulus


The Attempt at a Solution



My doubt is can we apply dp=h*density*g here taking the initial density (1030) because density is not constant throughout...Do we have to integrate or something...? What do do?

You can take P = h X surface density X g

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
