Water Density at Depth Simulation
This simulation demonstrates how water density increases with depth due to increasing pressure. At the surface, water density is 1.03 × 10³ kg/m³. As we go deeper, the pressure increases, causing water to compress slightly and become more dense.

Physics Formulas:
Bulk modulus relationship: ΔV/V₁ = p/B
Density change: ρ₂ = ρ₁ / [1 - (ΔV/V₁)]
Where:
ρ₁ = Surface density (1.03 × 10³ kg/m³)
ρ₂ = Density at depth
B = Bulk modulus of water (1/45.8 × 10⁻¹¹ Pa⁻¹)
At 0 m depth with 1 atm pressure:
Water density = 1.030 × 10³ kg/m³
