A ball falling in a lake depth 200 m shows a decrease of 0.1 % in its volume at the bottom then the bulk modulus of the material of the ball is

  • 19.6×108 N/m2

  • 19.2×107N/m2

  • 24×109 N/m2

  • 24×105 N/m2

Solution

A.

19.6×108 N/m2

The pressure exerted by water on the ball p=hρg

 Given:- ρ=1000 kgm3(density of water) ,

             h=200m

             p=103×200×9.8=19.6×105

             VV=0.1%=0.1100

 Bulk modulus B=-pVV=hρgVV=19.6×1050.1×10-2     

The negative sign indicates the fact that with an increase in pressure, a decrease in volume occurs.If p is positive, ∆V is negative.Thus for a system in equilibrium, the value of bulk modulus B is always positive. So B is positive

                     B  =19.6×108 Nm2
