A) \[0.8\times {{10}^{-2}}\]
B) \[1.0\times {{10}^{-2}}\]
C) \[1.2\times {{10}^{-2}}\]
D) \[1.4\times {{10}^{-2}}\]
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Given d = 2700m \[\rho ={{10}^{3}}kg/{{m}^{3}}\] Compressibility \[=45.4\times {{10}^{-11}}\] per pascal The pressure at the bottom of ocean is given by \[p=\rho gd\] \[={{10}^{3}}\times 10\times 2700=27\times {{10}^{6}}\,\text{Pa}\] So, fractional compression = compressibility \[\times \] pressure \[=45.4\times {{10}^{-11}}\times 27\times {{10}^{6}}=1.2\times {{10}^{-2}}\]You need to login to perform this action.
