NEET Physics Bulk Modulus MCQ Question
Consider a diagram showing a solid cube initially at rest. The cube is subjected to a uniform hydraulic pressure from all sides. Which of the following labels represents the bulk modulus of the material of the cube?

Ratio of initial volume to change in pressure
Ratio of pressure increase to fractional change in volume
Ratio of final volume to pressure increase
Ratio of fractional change in volume to pressure increase
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The bulk modulus is defined as the ratio of the increase in pressure to the fractional change in volume, based on the NCERT context of the mechanical properties of solids.
