The deepest point in the ocean is in the Mariana Trench, about 11 km deep, in the Pacific. The pressure at this depth is huge, about 1.13 x 10^8 N/m^2.

(a) Calculate the change in volume of 1.00 m^3 of seawater carried from the surface to this deepest point.

(b) The density of seawater at the surface is 1.03 x 10^3 kg/m^3. Find its density at the bottom.
