CBSEENPH11018119

The volume of a spherical body is decreased by10–3 % when it is subjected to pressure of 40 atmospheres. Find the bulk modulus of body.

(1 Atmosphere pressure =1.01x105 N/m2).

Solution

Volume of a spherical body decreased = 10-3 % 

Pressure, P = 40 atm

We know,
Bulk modulus, K=-VdPdV


Percentage change in volume is given by 10-3 %

    ΔVV=10-3100=10-5Therefore,              K=40×1.01×10510-5               =4.04×1011 N/m2 

is the bulk modulus of the body.
