Physics Question on mechanical properties of solids
Bulk modulus of water is 2×109N/m2 . The change in pressure required to increase the density of water by 0.1% is
A
2×109N/m2
B
2×108N/m2
C
2×106N/m2
D
2×104N/m2
Answer
2×106N/m2
Explanation
Solution
Mass = Volume × density =Vd= constant VΔd+dΔV=0 VΔV=−dΔd =−1000.1=10−3 Bulk modulus K=−ΔV/VΔp Δp=−KVΔV Δp=2×109×10−3 =2×106N/m2
