    A bottle has an opening of radius a and length b. A cork of length b and radius \[\left( a+\Delta a \right)\] where \[\left( \Delta a<<a \right)\] is compressed to fit into the opening completely (See figure). If the bulk modulus of cork is B and frictional coefficient between the bottle and cork is \[\mu \]then the force needed to push the cork into the bottle is:                   
    [JEE ONLINE 10-04-2016]

    A)  \[\left( 2\pi g\mu B\,\,b \right)\Delta a\]

    B)       \[\left( \pi \mu B\,\,b \right)\Delta a\]

    C)  \[\left( \pi \mu \,B\,\,b \right)a\]   

    D)       \[\left( 4\pi \mu \,B\,\,b \right)\Delta a\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] \[\beta \frac{\Delta V}{V}=-\Delta P\]                        
    \[\Delta V\simeq -2\pi ab\Delta a\]
    \[{{V}_{f}}=\pi {{a}^{2}}b\]
    \[\frac{\Delta V}{V}=\frac{-2\pi ab\Delta a}{\pi {{a}^{2}}b}=\frac{-2\Delta a}{a}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\Delta P=\frac{2\beta \Delta a}{a}\]
    Normal force = \[=\frac{2\beta \Delta a}{a}2\pi ab\]
    \[=4\pi \beta \,\,b\,\Delta a\]
    friction \[=\mu N\]
    \[=4\pi \mu \beta \,\,b\,\,a\]
