When a rubber ball is taken to a depth of $h$ meters in deep sea,its volume decreases by $0.5\, \%$. Calculate the depth $h$. (Given: Bulk modulus of rubber $B = 9.8 \times 10^{8} \, \text{N/m}^2$,Density of sea water $\rho = 10^{3} \, \text{kg/m}^3$,$g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2$)

The average density of Earth's crust $10 \ km$ beneath the surface is $2.7 \ g/cm^3$. The speed of longitudinal seismic waves at that depth is $5.4 \ km/s$. The bulk modulus of Earth's crust,considering its behavior as a fluid at that depth,is:

The density of a metal at normal pressure is $\rho$. Its density when it is subjected to an excess pressure $p$ is $\rho^{\prime}$. If $B$ is the Bulk modulus of the metal,the ratio $\frac{\rho^{\prime}}{\rho}$ is:
