If average depth of an ocean is \(4000 \mathrm{~m}\) and the bulk modulus of water is \(2 \times 10^9 \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\), then fractional compression \(\frac{\Delta V}{V}\) of water at the bottom of ocean is \(\alpha \times 10^{-2}\). The value of \(\alpha\) is ___________(Given, \(\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}, \rho=1000 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}\) )

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \mathrm{B}=-\frac{\Delta \mathrm{P}}{\left(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{V}}\right)} \)

\( -\left(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{V}}\right)=\frac{\rho \mathrm{gh}}{\mathrm{B}}=\frac{1000 \times 10 \times 4000}{2 \times 10^9} \)

\( =2 \times 10^{-2}[-\mathrm{ve} \text { sign represent compression }]\)
