The increase in the pressure required to decrease the volume \((\Delta V)\) of water is \(6.3 \times 10^7\) N/m\(^2\). The percentage decrease in the volume is _____. (Bulk modulus of water \(= 2.1 \times 10^9\) N/m\(^2\).)

  1. A \(2\%\)
  2. B \(3\%\)
  3. C \(6\%\)
  4. D \(4\%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3\%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Bulk modulus is given by \(B = \dfrac{\Delta P}{-\dfrac{\Delta V}{V}}\) The fractional decrease in volume is \(-\dfrac{\Delta V}{V} = \dfrac{\Delta P}{B}\) Substituting the given values: \(-\dfrac{\Delta V}{V} = \dfrac{6.3 \times 10^7}{2.1 \times 10^9} = 3 \times 10^{-2}\) The…
