The volume of a material reduces by \(2 \%\) when the pressure is increased from \(1 \mathrm{~atm}\) to 2 atm. What is it's bulk modulus?

  1. A \(10^5 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2\)
  2. B \(5 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2\)
  3. C \(10^6 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2\)
  4. D \(5 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(5 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

By using the equation of Bulk modulus \(B=-\frac{p V}{\Delta V}\) It is given that \(\frac{\Delta V}{V}=2 \%=-\frac{2}{100}\) As we know that, [ - ve sign shows that volume is reduced by increasing pressure.] Let \(p\) be the pressure difference. i.e.…
