Q23.When a rubber ball is taken to a depth of _______ m in deep sea, its volume decreases by 0. 5% (The bulk modulus of rubber = 9. 8 × 108 N m−2 Density of sea water = 103 kg m−3 , g = 9. 8 m s−2 )

What This Question Tests

This problem combines the concept of bulk modulus, which relates pressure change to fractional volume change, with the calculation of hydrostatic pressure at a certain depth in a fluid.

Concepts Tested

Bulk modulusPressure due to fluid columnVolume change

Formulas Used

B = - (ΔP / (ΔV/V))

P = ρgh

9.3 A tank is filled with water to a height of 12.5 cm. The apparent depth of a needle lying at the bottom of the tank is measured by a microscope to be 9.4 cm. What is the refractive index of water? If water is replaced by a liquid of refractive index 1.63 up to the same height, by what distance would the microscope have to be moved to focus on the needle again?
