Question:

Using the same assumptions as those in developing Eq. d in Example 15.1, develop an expression for pressure at the bottom of a deep column of liquid in terms of the isothermal compressibility, βT. For liquid water at 20oC, βT = 0.0005 [1/MPa]. Use the result of the first question to estimate the pressure in the Pacific ocean at the depth of 3 km.
