The compressibility of water is 4 10⁻⁵ per unit atmospheric pressure. The decrease in volume of 100 ~cm ³ of water under a pressure of 100 atmosphere will be
Options
- A0.4 ~cm ³
- B4 10⁻⁵ ~cm ³
- C0.025 ~cm ³
- D0.004 ~cm ³
Correct answer
A. 0.4 ~cm ³
Step-by-step solution
Compressibility = 1 ~B = V / V P . Here, P =100 ~atm Compressibility =4 10⁻⁵ and V =100 ~cm ³ Hence, V =0.4 ~cm ³
