Explanation:

Find the density of seawater at a depth where

the pressure is 520 atm if the density at the

surface is 1100 kg/m3. Seawater has a bulk

modulus of 2.3 × 109 N/m2. Bulk modulus is

defined to be

B ≡ρ0 ∆P/∆ρ

Answer in units of kg/m3.

Expert's answer

Bulk modulus by definition

B=\rho_0\frac{\Delta P}{\Delta \rho}.B=ρ

Hence, the density of seawater at a depth where the pressure is 520 atm

\rho=\rho_0+\Delta\rho=\rho_0(1+\frac{\Delta P}{B})ρ=ρ
