Artificial diamonds are made by subjecting graphite to high pressure of 2×1010 Pa at a high temperature. Assuming that natural diamonds were formed at such high pressure within the earth, what must have been the original volume of a diamond whose mass is 210 g? The density of diamond = 3500 kgm−3 and its bulk modulus = 6 x 1011 Nm−2.
