Question : 16
Total: 21
How much should the pressure on a litre of water be changed to compress it by 0.10%.
Solution:
Here, V = 1 litre, Δ V = 0.10 % of V =
× 1 =
litre
LetΔ P = Change in pressure required for compression of 1 litre of water.
B = bulk modulus of water= 2.2 × 109 N m – 2
Using the relation,B =
, we get
Δ P = B
= 2.2 × 10 9 ×
= 2.2 × 10 9 1000
= 2.2 × 10 6 N m − 2
Let
B = bulk modulus of water
Using the relation,
