Fluid Mechanics I tried to get a jar of Mexican chocolate mole' sauce through an airport TSA officer by telling her that the bulk modulus of the sauce was at least 1010 Pa, and that is had a density of 7000 kg/m3, e.g., that it was less compressible than, and nearly as dense as steel. a) Who won the arguement and why? The jar was clear and not totally full- that is, there was a little air at the top. b) What  simple experiment could she design (without opening the lid or breaking the jar) to answer this question for certain?

Fluid Mechanics

I tried to get a jar of Mexican chocolate mole' sauce through an airport TSA officer by telling her that the bulk modulus of the sauce was at least 1010 Pa, and that is had a density of 7000 kg/m3, e.g., that it was less compressible than, and nearly as dense as steel.

a) Who won the arguement and why?

The jar was clear and not totally full- that is, there was a little air at the top.

b) What  simple experiment could she design (without opening the lid or breaking the jar) to answer this question for certain?
