A liquid of bulk modulus \(k\) is compressed by applying an external pressure such that its density increases by \(0.01 \% .\) The pressure applied on the liquid is

  1. A \(\frac{k}{10000}\)
  2. B \(\frac{k}{1000}\)
  3. C \(1000 \mathrm{k}\)
  4. D \(0.01 k\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{k}{10000}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The Bulk modulus \(k\) \[ k=-\frac{p}{\Delta V / V} \] Where, \(p=\) Pressure \[ \begin{aligned} \Delta V &=\text { Change in volume } \\ V &=\text { Volume of liquid } \end{aligned} \] From (i) \[ \frac{p}{k}=-\frac{\Delta V}{V}=\frac{\Delta p}{p} \]…
