NEET Physics Stress & Strain MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 11
A solid cube with an initial volume of 1.0 m^3 is subjected to a hydraulic pressure of 2.0 x 10^6 Pa, causing its volume to decrease by 0.001 m^3. What is the bulk modulus of the material of the cube?
A
0 x 10^9 Pa
B
0 x 10^5 Pa
C
0 x 10^7 Pa
D
0 x 10^3 Pa
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The bulk modulus is given by B = -p/(ΔV/V). Substituting p = 2.0 x 10^6 Pa, ΔV = -0.001 m^3, and V = 1.0 m^3, we get B = 2.0 x 10^9 Pa.
