NEET · Physics · STD 11- 8. mechanical properties of solids
The bulk modulus of a spherical object is '\(B\)'. If it is subjected to uniform pressure '\(P\)', the fractional decrease in radius is
- A \(\frac{{3P}}{B}\)
- B \(\;\frac{P}{{3B}}\)
- C \(\;\frac{P}{B}\)
- D \(\frac{B}{{3P}}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\;\frac{P}{{3B}}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Bulk modulus \(B\) is given as \(B = \frac{{ - pV}}{{\Delta V}}\) \(...(i)\)
