A piece of iron sinks to the bottom of a lake where the pressure is 21 times what it is at the surface of the lake. Which statem
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

A or B depending on your precision

Explanation:

In real life, applying to solid will shrink it depending on the amount of pressure applied, but due to the strength of solid bonds, the volume change is often negligible in practical situation and would only be accounted under astronomically high pressure phenomena (eg. at Jupiter's core or near black hole).

In high school level, and for many applications, it is entirely viable to completely neglect the change in solid volume under pressure. Thus, A is a legitimate answer. However, bear in mind that <em>in theory</em> the volume still decreases by a very slight amount. So B is correct as well, theoretically. The most correct option depends on the precision you needed.
