Question
If average depth of an ocean is $4000 \mathrm{~m}$ and the bulk modulus of water is $2 \times 10^9 \mathrm{~Nm}^{-2}$, then fractional compression $\frac{\Delta V}{V}$ of water at the bottom of ocean is $\alpha \times 10^{-2}$. The value of $\alpha$ is _______ (Given, $\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}, \rho=1000 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}$)
