Physics-Bulk Modulus

NEET Physics Bulk Modulus MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 11

What is the fractional change in volume of a solid copper cube with an edge of 10 cm when subjected to a hydraulic pressure of 7.0 × 10^6 Pa, given that the bulk modulus of copper is 1.4 × 10^11 Pa?

A

5.0 × 10^-5

B

5.0 × 10^-4

C

5.0 × 10^-6

D

5.0 × 10^-3

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The fractional change in volume is given by the formula ΔV/V = -P/B, where P is pressure and B is bulk modulus. Substituting the given values: ΔV/V = -(7.0 × 10^6 Pa)/(1.4 × 10^11 Pa) = 5.0 × 10^-5.
