Answer: Option A: The number of trees sampled.
The accuracy can be understood as how close is the measured value to the true value. The aim is to monitor the population size of the insect pest in a 50 square kilometer. Random trees are selected, and number of eggs and larvae are counted. So, the measured value would be closer to actual value when the number of trees sampled are increased. More the number of trees sampled, less would be the chances of error and the accuracy of the estimate would increase.
Answer:
6400 m
Explanation:
You need to use the bulk modulus, K:
K = ρ dP/dρ
where ρ is density and P is pressure
Since ρ is changing by very little, we can say:
K ≈ ρ ΔP/Δρ
Therefore, solving for ΔP:
ΔP = K Δρ / ρ
We can calculate K from Young's modulus (E) and Poisson's ratio (ν):
K = E / (3 (1 - 2ν))
Substituting:
ΔP = E / (3 (1 - 2ν)) (Δρ / ρ)
Before compression:
ρ = m / V
After compression:
ρ+Δρ = m / (V - 0.001 V)
ρ+Δρ = m / (0.999 V)
ρ+Δρ = ρ / 0.999
1 + (Δρ/ρ) = 1 / 0.999
Δρ/ρ = (1 / 0.999) - 1
Δρ/ρ = 0.001 / 0.999
Given:
E = 69 GPa = 69×10⁹ Pa
ν = 0.32
ΔP = 69×10⁹ Pa / (3 (1 - 2×0.32)) (0.001/0.999)
ΔP = 64.0×10⁶ Pa
If we assume seawater density is constant at 1027 kg/m³, then:
ρgh = P
(1027 kg/m³) (9.81 m/s²) h = 64.0×10⁶ Pa
h = 6350 m
Rounded to two sig-figs, the ocean depth at which the sphere's volume is reduced by 0.10% is approximately 6400 m.
