Условие
This problem consists of four not related parts.
A. [2.5 points] The Mariana Abyss in the Pacific Ocean has a depth of . Density of salted water at the surface of the ocean is , bulk modulus is , acceleration of gravity is . Neglect the change in the temperature and in the acceleration of gravity with the depth, and also neglect the atmospheric pressure.
A1) Find the relation between the density and pressure at the depth of .
A2) Find the numerical value of the pressure at the bottom of the Mariana Abyss. You may use iterative methods to solve this part.
Note: The fluids have very small compressibility. Compressibility coefficient is defined as
Bulk modulus is the inverse of : .

A1)
A2) Pa
The official solution prints P(H) = (1098·10⁵ + 28,7·10⁵) Па ≈ 1,13·10⁸ Па, with the unit written in Cyrillic letters (Па).
Решение
A
The change of the pressure is related to the change in the density via
where is the density of water at the surface.
where (we neglect the atmospheric pressure). Then
(A1)
The change of the hydrostatic pressure with the depth equals
The solution of this differential equation with boundary condition is
Since , we can use the expansion
thus
The last formula can be simply derived using the method of successive iterations. First, the pressure can be estimated without compressibility taken into account:
Correction to the density in the first approximation can be obtained using :
Now, correction to pressure can be obtained using :
as obtained earlier.
Putting in the numerical values, we get
(A2)
