The Bulk Modulus for an incompressible liquid is
Options
- Azero
- Bunity
- Cinfinity
- Dbetween 0 and 1
Correct answer
C. infinity
Step-by-step solution
Since liquid is incompressible there is no change in volume. When strain is small the ratio of the normal stress to the volume strain is called the bulk modulus of material of the body. aligned B & = normal stress volume strain & = normal stress aligned change in volume/original volume since, the liquid is incompressible change in volume is zero. normal stress B= normal stress 0 = Hence, bulk modulus is infinite.
