NEET · Physics · STD 11- 8. mechanical properties of solids

The density of a metal at normal pressure is \(\rho\). Its density when it is subjected to an excess pressure \(p\) is \(\rho^{\prime}\) If \(B\) is Bulk modulus of the metal, the ratio of \(\frac{{\rho '}}{\rho }\) is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{{1 - \frac{p}{B}}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(B =- V \frac{ dP }{ dV }\) Thus, \(\Delta V =-\frac{ pV }{ B }\) or \(V ^{\prime}- V =-\frac{ pV }{ B }\) Or, \(V^{\prime}=V\left(1-\frac{p}{B}\right)\)
