Solution

Let the given depth be h.

Pressure at the given depth, p = 80.0 atm = 80 × 1.01 × 105 Pa

Density of water at the surface, ρ1 = 1.03 × 103 kg m–3

Let ρ2 be the density of water at the depth h.

Let V1 be the volume of water of mass m at the surface.

Let V2 be the volume of water of mass m at the depth h.

Let ΔV be the change in volume.

For equations (i) and (ii), we get:

Therefore, the density of water at the given depth (h) is 1.034 × 103 kg m–3.
