Fluid Mechanics

Last Fall, researchers using an unmanned submarine discovered a coral reef at the unprecenented depth of 1/2 mile. The density of seawater at the surface of the ocean is 1025kg/m³ and the bulk modulus of elasticty of seawater is 2.34*10⁹ Pa. A volume of air is taken downward to the coral reef. Assuming an absolute air pressure at the ocean surface of 1 atm, and that the air taken to the reef behaves as an isothermal gas.

Find the pressure of the air at that depth.
Find the fractional change in denisity and volume of the air at that depth.
