Question:

The bulk modulus for bone is 15 GPa.

(a) If a diver-in-training is put into a pressurized suit, by how much would the pressure have to be raised (in atmospheres) above atmospheric pressure to compress her bones by 0.10% of their original volume?

(b) Given that the pressure in the ocean increases 1.0 × 104 Pa by for every meter of depth below the surface, how deep would this diver have to go for her bones to compress by 0.10%? Does it seem that bone compression is a problem she needs to be concerned with when diving?
