STANDARD Physics Bulk Modulus and Compressibility MCQ Question
If stress-strain relation for volumetric change is in the form where P is applied uniform pressure, then K stands for
Shear modulus
Compressibility
Young’s modulus
Bulk modulus
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The compressibility is defined as the reciprocal of the bulk modulus. In the given equation, represents compressibility, which relates the change in volume to the applied pressure.
