The Mariana Trench is located in the Pacific Ocean,and at one place it is nearly $11 \; km$ beneath the surface of the water. The water pressure at the bottom of the trench is about $1.1 \times 10^{8} \; Pa$. $A$ steel ball of initial volume $0.32 \; m^{3}$ is dropped into the ocean and falls to the bottom of the trench. What is the change in the volume of the ball when it reaches the bottom? (Bulk modulus of steel $B = 1.6 \times 10^{11} \; N/m^{2}$)

  • A
    $2.2 \times 10^{-4} \; m^{3}$
  • B
    $1.1 \times 10^{-4} \; m^{3}$
  • C
    $4.4 \times 10^{-4} \; m^{3}$
  • D
    $3.3 \times 10^{-4} \; m^{3}$
