Homework Statement
By what percentage does the density of water increase at a depth of 3.7 km below the surface?
(change in p/p)
Homework Equations
P = pgh where p = density
p of water = 1000 kg/m cubed
h = 3.7 km = 3700 m
bulk modulus of water (b) = 2 e 9
The Attempt at a Solution
b = - change in P/ (change in vol/vol orig)
or change in vol/vol original = -pgh/b
change in vol/vol original = 1.813 e -3
percent change in volume = .1813 percent
How does this relate to the percentage increase in density?
