A 20 liter container is completely filled with hydraulic fluid and is initially pressurized at 2100 kPa. An accident smashes one side of the container creating a permanent deformation that reduces the volume by 4%. Assuming that the fluid bulk modulus is 1 GPa what is the new pressure in the container?

Using the results of  2.9 calculate how much time it takes for the container to reach atmospheric pressure if the container develops a slow leak after being smashed. Assume that the leakage coefficient is 2×10–13 m3/(Pa-s).
