A. What is the pressure at a depth of 5000min the ocean?

B. What is the fractional volume change ∆V/Vof seawater at this pressure?

C. What is the density of seawater at this pressure?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The density at a depth'd' increases by 1.025 times the density at surface of the Ocean.

Step by step solution

01

Introduction(part A)

The water pressure at a depth'd" in the Ocean

p=po+pngd

Po=Atmospheric pressure =101325pas

ÒÏw= Density of Ocean water =1.025kg/L

=1025kg/m3

∵1000L=1m3

g= Acceleration due to gravity

d= Ocean depth

p=101325pa+1025kg/m3×9.8m/sec×5000m

=50326325pasclas

≈497atm

101325pas
02

Explanation(part B)

B) Fractional volume change =∆VV=

ΔVV=-pB

B=Bulk modulas of water =0.2×1010N/m3

ΔVV=-50326325pas0.2×1010N/m2

=-0.025163(Or)-2.5%of initial volume

ΔVV=-2.5%.........(1)

03

Step 3:Density of sea water (part C)

C) Density of sea water at this pressure is more

Let ÒÏebe the density of sea water at surface

And ÒÏdbe the density at the depth'd'

ÒÏo=mVnand ÒÏd=mVd

Let us consider the mass of water be m=1kg

Taking the ratios of ÒÏdand ÒÏo

ÒÏdÒÏo=mVdmVo

=VoVd

⇒ÒÏdÒÏo=VoVd..........(1)

04

Step 4:Substiution

We know that from equation (1)

ΔVVu=-2.5%of initial volume

⇒Vd-VeVe=-0.025

⇒Vd=Vo(1-0.025)

Vd=0.975VeFrom equation(2)

ÒÏdÒÏe=Vv0.975Ve

ÒÏs=ÒÏe(1.02564)

As a conclusion, average volume at a depth 'd' is 1.025times the same at the Ocean's surface.

Vd=0.975Ve
