If a brass sphere of radius 36 cm is submerged in a lake at a depth where the pressure is \(10^7 \mathrm{~Pa}\), then the change in the radius of the sphere is \((\) Bulk modulus of brass \(=60 \mathrm{GPa})\)

  1. A \(4 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~cm}\)
  2. B \(2 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~cm}\)
  3. C \(4 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~cm}\)
  4. D \(2 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~cm}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~cm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \Delta V / V = 3 \Delta R / R \) \( B = -P / (\Delta V / V) \) \( B = -P / (3 \Delta R / R) \) \( \Delta R = -PR / (3B) \) \( |\Delta R| = (10^7 \mathrm{~Pa} \cdot 0.36 \mathrm{~m}) / (3 \cdot 60 \times 10^9 \mathrm{~Pa}) \)…
