MCQ
A uniform cube is subjected to volume compression. If each side is decreased by $1\%,$ then bulk strain is
  • A
    $0.01$
  • B
    $0.06$
  • C
    $0.02$
  • $0.03$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$0.03$
d
(d) If side of the cube is $L$ then $V = {L^3}$ ==> $\frac{{dV}}{V} = 3\frac{{dL}}{L}$  

$\%$ change in volume $= 3 \times (\% $ change in length$)$

$= 3 \times 1\% = 3\%$    $\therefore$  Bulk strain $\frac{{\Delta V}}{V} = 0.03$
