Seawater has a density of 1,025 kg/m³ at the surface.The bulk modulus of seawater is 0.2100 $\times$ 10¹⁰ N/m².What is the density of seawater at a depth of 10.00 km? A) 1074 kg/m³ B) 1230 kg/m³ C) 1574 kg/m³ D) 1764 kg/m³ E) 1973 kg/m³

The change in density can be calculated using the formula for bulk modulus: B = -V * (dP/dV). At 10 km depth, pressure increases by approximately 1.01 * 10^8 N/m^2. Using the bulk modulus, the density increases to approximately 1074 kg/m^3.
