The bulk modulus of a liquid is 3 × 10 10 Nm - 2 . The pressure required to reduce the volume of liquid by 2 % is :
Options
- A3 × 10 8   N   m - 2
- B6 × 10 8   N   m - 2
- C9 × 10 8   N   m - 2
- D12 × 10 8   N   m - 2
Correct answer
B. 6 × 10 8   N   m - 2
Step-by-step solution
Bulk modulus B = Volumetric   stress Volumetric   strain = - ∆ P ∆ V V Then, ∆ P = B × - ∆ V V = 3 × 10 10 × 2 100 = 6 × 10 8   N   m - 2
