JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11- 8. mechanical properties of solids

The normal density of a material is \(\rho\) and its bulk modulus of elasticity is \(K\). The magnitude of increase in density of material, when a pressure \(P\) is applied uniformly on all sides, will be

  1. A \(\frac{\rho K }{ P }\)
  2. B \(\frac{\rho P }{ K }\)
  3. C \(\frac{ K }{\rho P }\)
  4. D \(\frac{ PK }{\rho}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{\rho P }{ K }\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\rho=\frac{M}{V}\) \(\frac{ d \rho}{\rho}=-\frac{ dV }{ V }\) \(K=-\frac{ P }{\frac{ d V }{ V }}\) \(-\frac{ d V }{ V }=\frac{ P }{K}\) \(\frac{ d \rho}{\rho}=\frac{ P }{ K } \Rightarrow d \rho=\frac{\rho P }{ K}\)
