Elastic Modulie
Question

The bulk modulus of rubber is 9 x 108 N/m2. To what depth below the surface of sea should the rubber ball be taken as to decrease its volume by 0.1%?

Moderate
Solution

ΔP=BVV Here VV=01100ΔP=9×105
Atmospheric pressure at sea level =10 m of water column.
Let the ball is taken to a depth h. Then
ΔP=(h10)ρg9×105=(h10)(1000) h=100m
