The approximate depth of an ocean is $\displaystyle 2700$ m. The compressibility of water is $\displaystyle 45.4 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{~Pa}^{-1}$ and density of water is $\displaystyle 10^3 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^3$. What fractional compression of water will be obtained at the bottom of the ocean ?
Official answer
(3)
$\displaystyle 1.2 \times 10^{-2}$
