MCQ
The bulk modulus of a liquid is $3 \times 10^{10}\, Nm ^{-2}$. The pressure required to reduce the volume of liquid by $2 \%$ is  ........ $\times 10^{8}\; Nm ^{-2}$
  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $9$
  • $6$
  • D
    $12$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$6$
c
$B =3 \times 10^{10}$

$-\frac{\Delta V }{ V }=0.02$

$B =\frac{\Delta P }{-\frac{\Delta V }{ V }} \Rightarrow \Delta P =- B \left(\frac{\Delta V }{ V }\right)$

$=\left(3 \times 10^{10}\right)(0.02)$

$=6 \times 10^{8} N / m ^{2}$
