Elastic deformations

Problem 1.314

Find the volume density of the elastic deformation energy in fresh water at the depth of h=1000 mh=1000 \mathrm{~m}.

Reveal Answer
1.314. u=1/2β(ρgh)2=23.5 kJ/m3,u=1 / 2 \beta(\rho g h)^{2}=23.5 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{m}^{3}, where β\beta is the compressibility.
