For a constant hydraulic stress on an object, the fractional change in the object's volume (ΔV/V)(\Delta V / V) and its bulk modulus (B)(B) are related as

Options

  1. AΔVV∝B\frac{\Delta V}{V} \propto B
  2. BΔVV∝1B\frac{\Delta V}{V} \propto \frac{1}{B}
  3. CΔVV∝B2\frac{\Delta V}{V} \propto B^2
  4. DΔVV∝B−2\frac{\Delta V}{V} \propto B^{-2}

Correct answer

B. ΔVV∝1B\frac{\Delta V}{V} \propto \frac{1}{B}

Step-by-step solution

Bulk modulus ∝1ΔV/V\propto \frac{1}{\Delta V / V}
