The bulk moduli of ethanol, mercury and water are given as $0.9, 25$ and $2 .2$ respectively in units of $10^9\, Nm^{-2}$ . For a given value of pressure, the fractional compression in volume is $\frac{{\Delta V}}{V}$. Which of the following statements about $\frac{{\Delta V}}{V}$ for these three liquids is correct ?
AEthanol $>$ Water $>$ Mercury
BWater $>$ Ethanol $>$ Mercury
CMercury $>$ Ethanol $>$ Water
DEthanol $>$ Mercury $>$ Water

AEthanol $>$ Water $>$ Mercury
a $Compressibility = \frac{1}{{Bulk\,modulus}}$
As bulk modulus is least for ethanol $(0.9)$ and maximum for mercury $(25)$ among ehtanol, mercury and water. Hence
compression in volume $\frac{{\Delta V}}{V}$
$Ethanol>Water>Mercury$

If $Y, K$ and $\eta$ are the values of Young's modulus, bulk modulus and modulus of rigidity of any material respectively. Choose the correct relation for these parameters.
A rod of length $l$ and radius $r$ is joined to a rod of length $l/2$ and radius $r/2$ of same material. The free end of small rod is fixed to a rigid base and the free end of larger rod is given a twist of $\theta°$, the twist angle at the joint will be
Two similar wires under the same load yield elongation of $0.1$ $mm$ and $0.05$ $mm$ respectively. If the area of cross- section of the first wire is $4m{m^2},$ then the area of cross section of the second wire is..... $mm^2$
Two wires of the same material (Young's modulus $Y$ ) and same length $L$ but radii $R$ and $2R$ respectively are joined end to end and a weight $W$ is suspended from the combination as shown in the figure. The elastic potential energy in the system is
A cylindrical wire of radius $1\,\, mm$, length $1 m$, Young’s modulus $= 2 × 10^{11} N/m^2$, poisson’s ratio $\mu = \pi /10$ is stretched by a force of $100 N$. Its radius will become
The Young's modulus of a steel wire of length $6\,m$ and cross-sectional area $3\,mm ^2$, is $2 \times 11^{11}\,N / m ^2$. The wire is suspended from its support on a given planet. A block of mass $4\,kg$ is attached to the free end of the wire. The acceleration due to gravity on the planet is $\frac{1}{4}$ of its value on the earth. The elongation of wire is (Take $g$ on the earth $=10$ $\left.m / s ^2\right):$
$Assertion :$ Solids are least compressible and gases are most compressible.
$Reason :$ solids have definite shape and volume but gases do not have either definite shape or definite volume.
