11.31 .. BIO Compression of Human Bone. The bulk mod- ulus for bone is 15 GPa. (a) If a diver-in-training is put into a pres- surized suit, by how much would the pressure have to be raised in atmospheres) above atmospheric pressure to compress her bones by 0.10% of their original volume? (b) Given that the pressure in the ocean increases by 1.0 X 10* Pa for every meter of depth below the surface, how deep would this diver have to go for her bones to compress by 0.10%? Does it seem that bone compression is a problem she needs to be concerned with when diving?
