    The density of water at the surface of ocean is\[\rho \]. If the bulk modulus of water is B, what is the density of ocean water at a depth where the pressure is \[n{{\rho }_{0}}\], where \[{{p}_{0}}\] is the atmospheric pressure?

    A)  \[\frac{\rho B}{B-(n-1){{p}_{0}}}\]

    B)  \[\frac{\rho B}{B+(n-1){{p}_{0}}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{\rho B}{B-n{{p}_{0}}}\]

    D)  \[\frac{\rho B}{B+n{{p}_{0}}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    When pressure is increased then density will decrease. Thus, the density of ocean water at a depth                 \[\rho =\frac{\rho }{1-\frac{dp}{B}}\] Here,     \[dp=n{{p}_{0}}-{{p}_{0}}\]                 \[={{p}_{0}}(n-1)\] \[\therefore \] \[\rho =\frac{\rho B}{B-(n-1)\,{{p}_{0}}}\]
