    A fluid of volume 1 L is subjected to a pressure change of \[{{10}^{7}}N/{{m}^{2}}.\] As a result its volume changes by \[0.4\,c{{m}^{3}}.\] The bulk modulus of the fluid is:

    A)  \[2.5\times {{10}^{10}}\,N/{{m}^{2}}\]

    B) \[2.5\times {{10}^{11}}\,N/{{m}^{2}}\]

    C)  \[2.5\times {{10}^{9}}\,N/{{m}^{2}}\]

    D)  \[2.5\times {{10}^{15}}\,N/{{m}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     The bulk modulus [B] of a fluid is given by \[B=\frac{\Delta P}{\Delta V/V}=\frac{\Delta PV}{\Delta V}\] Given, \[V=1L=1000\,cc=1000\times {{10}^{-6}}{{m}^{3}}\] \[={{10}^{-3}}\,{{m}^{3}}\] \[\Delta P={{10}^{7}}\,N/{{m}^{2}},\,\,\Delta V=0.4c{{m}^{2}}=0.4\] \[c{{m}^{3}}=0.4\times {{10}^{-6}}{{m}^{3}}\]              \[\therefore \] \[B=\frac{1\times {{10}^{7}}\times {{10}^{-3}}}{0.4\times {{10}^{-6}}}=\frac{1}{0.4}\times {{10}^{10}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[B=2.5\times {{10}^{10}}\,N/{{m}^{2}}\]
