The bulk modulus of a spherical object is '\(B\)'. If it is subjected to uniform pressure '\(P\)', the fractional decrease in radius is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\;\frac{P}{{3B}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Bulk modulus \(B\) is given as \(B = \frac{{ - pV}}{{\Delta V}}\)                                    \(...(i)\)
