The density $\rho$ of water of bulk modulus $B$ at a depth $y$ in the ocean is related to the density at the surface $\rho_0$ by the relation:

  • A
    $\rho = \rho_0 \left[ 1 - \frac{\rho_0 gy}{B} \right]$
  • B
    $\rho = \rho_0 \left[ 1 + \frac{\rho_0 gy}{B} \right]$
  • C
    $\rho = \rho_0 \left[ 1 + \frac{B}{\rho_0 gy} \right]$
  • D
    $\rho = \rho_0 \left[ 1 - \frac{B}{\rho_0 gy} \right]$

What is the density of water at a depth where pressure is $80.0 \; atm$, given that its density at the surface is $1.03 \times 10^{3} \; kg \; m^{-3}$? (Take bulk modulus of water $B = 2.2 \times 10^{9} \; Pa$ or compressibility $45.8 \times 10^{-11} \; Pa^{-1}$)

It is found that an increase in pressure of $100 \, kPa$ causes a certain volume of water to decrease by $5 \times 10^{-3}$ percent of its original volume. Then the speed of sound in the water is about .... $m/s$ (density of water $10^3 \, kg/m^3$)

The density of a metal at normal pressure is $\rho$. When an additional pressure $P$ is applied,its density becomes $\rho'$. If its bulk modulus is $B$,then the ratio $\frac{\rho'}{\rho}$ is:
