The compressibility of water is $5 \times 10^{-10} \ m^2/N$. $A$ pressure of $15 \times 10^6 \ Pa$ is applied on $100 \ ml$ volume of water. The change in the volume of water is:

  • A
    $0.75 \ ml$ increase.
  • B
    $1.50 \ ml$ increase.
  • C
    $0.75 \ ml$ decrease.
  • D
    Zero.

Which type of elastic modulus is there in liquids and gases?

An external pressure $P$ is applied on a cube at $0^o C$ so that it is equally compressed from all sides. $K$ is the bulk modulus of the material of the cube and $\alpha$ is its coefficient of linear expansion. Suppose we want to bring the cube to its original size by heating. The temperature should be raised by

Consider a fluid in a container. Let the density of the fluid at the surface and at depth $H$ be $\rho_0$ and $\rho$ respectively. The bulk modulus of the fluid is $B_0$. If $\rho = \frac{\rho_0}{1 - \frac{\rho g H}{B_0}}$, find the constant $\alpha$ in the expression $\rho = \frac{\rho_0}{1 + \alpha \rho g H}$ (Assume $\frac{\rho - \rho_0}{\rho_0} \ll 1$).

$A$ sample of a liquid has an initial volume of $1.5\,L$. The volume is reduced by $0.2\,mL$ when the pressure increases by $140\,kPa$. What is the bulk modulus of the liquid?

An object is located at $2 \, km$ beneath the surface of the water.
