Physics

(a) Stations A and B are at the same sea surface elevation leveland have a bottom depth of 2000 m. Both stations have seawater witha uniform density with respect to depth; however the seawaterdensity at A and B are different (sA = 24.7 kg/m3 ; sB = 25.4 kg/m3). [A = 40o 45' N, 25o 45' W; B = 41o 5' N, 24o 45' W]

(b) Does this current vary with respect to depth ? If so,explain how it varies and why
