the average depth of indian 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))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The pressure exerted by a 3000 m column of water on 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%`
