Correct answer: 18
- Use bulk modulus relation
For a small change in volume,
Taking magnitudes,
Given:
- Bulk modulus of rubber:
- Decrease in volume =
Convert percentage to fraction:
So,
- Find required pressure increase
- Relate pressure increase to depth in sea water
Hydrostatic pressure at depth is
Given:
Thus,
- Final answer
The required depth is
This matches the stored correct answer.
