The deepest point in any ocean is in the Mariana Trench, which is about 11 km deep, in the Pacific. The pressure at this depth is huge, about 1.13 x 108 N/m². (Take the bulk modulus of seawater to be 2.34 x 10⁹ N/m²) (a) Calculate the change in volume of 0.800 m³ of seawater carried from the surface to this deepest point. m³ (b) The density of seawater at the surface is 1.03 x 103 kg/m³. Find its density at the bottom. kg/m³ (c) Is it a good approximation to think of water as incompressible? O Yes No
