The average depth of indian Ocean is about 3000 m. The fractional compression, `(triangleV)/(V)` of water at the bottom of the ocean is (Given Bulk modulus of the water `=2.2xx10^9Nm^-2` and `g=10ms^-2`)

Explanation

Here, `h=3000m`
`B=2.2 xx 10^(9) N//m^(2)`
`p=h rho g = 3000 xx 10^(3) xx 10 = 3 xx 10^(7) Nm^(-2)`
`:.` Compressional strain, `(Delta V)/(V)= p/B`
`=(3xx 10^(7))/(2.2 xx 10^(19)) = 1.36 xx 10^(-2)`.
