NEET 2017 Physics Elasticity MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11
The bulk modulus of a spherical object is ‘B’. If it is subjected to uniform pressure ‘P’, the fractional decrease in radius is
A
P/B
B
3P/4B
C
P/3B
D
B/3P
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
The fractional change in volume is given by ΔV/V = -P/B. For a sphere, Δr/r = ΔV/3V, leading to the fractional decrease in radius as P/3B.
