The density $\rho$ of water of bulk modulus $B$ at a depth $y$ in the ocean is related to the density at the surface $\rho_0$ by the relation:

  • A
    $\rho = \rho_0 \left[ 1 - \frac{\rho_0 gy}{B} \right]$
  • B
    $\rho = \rho_0 \left[ 1 + \frac{\rho_0 gy}{B} \right]$
  • C
    $\rho = \rho_0 \left[ 1 + \frac{B}{\rho_0 gy} \right]$
  • D
    $\rho = \rho_0 \left[ 1 - \frac{B}{\rho_0 gy} \right]$
