Bulk Modulus & Compressibility

When a rubber ball is taken to a depth of __________m in deep sea, its volume decreases by 0.5%. (The bulk modulus of rubber = 9.8 ×\times 108 Nm−2, Density of sea water = 103 kgm−3, g = 9.8 m/s2)

Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Answer: 500

  1. ρgh=B ΔVV\rho g h = B\,\frac{\Delta V}{V}
  2. B ΔVV=9.8×108×0.005=4.9×106 PaB\,\frac{\Delta V}{V} = 9.8\times10^{8}\times0.005 = 4.9\times10^{6}\ \text{Pa}
  3. h=4.9×106103×9.8=500 mh = \frac{4.9\times10^{6}}{10^{3}\times9.8} = 500\ \text{m}
