    A solid sphere of radius $r$ made of a soft material of bulk modulus $K$ is surrounded by a liquid in a cylindrical container. A massless piston of area $a$ floats on the surface of the liquid, covering entire crosssection of cylindrical container. When a mass $m$ is placed on the surface of the piston to compress the liquid, the fractional decrement in the radius of the sphere, $\left( {\frac{{dr}}{r}} \right)$ is
