The average depth of Indian ocean is about 3000 m. The fractional compression, `(Delta V)/(V)` of water at the bottom of the ocean (given that the bulk modulus of the water `= 2.2 xx 10^(2) Nm^(-2) and g = 10 ms^(-2)`) is

Options

A. 0.0082
B. 0.0091
C. 0.0136
D. 0.0124

Answer

C

Explanation

`B = (P)/(DeltaV//V)`
`(Delta V)/(V) = (P)/(B) = (rho gh)/(B) = 1.36%`
