Question

At the earth’s surface, the pressure is
1.6864 × 10^10 Pa lower than at a depth of
d = 496 km.
If a cubic centimeter block of a metal were
brought to the surface from this depth, what
would be its new volume? The bulk mod-
ulus for this metal is 1.3 × 10^11 N/m2 and
atmospheric pressure is 1.013 × 10^5 Pa .
Answer in units of cm3

Answer 1

Ok so I used the \[\Delta V= \Delta pV/B \] and got a negative number. Since the change in Volume is negative I would then add this to the Initial to come up with new volume. I ended up getting 2.2 something centimeters which is wrong. What did i miss?
