The increase in pressure required to decrease the volume of a water sample by 0.2% is P times 10^5 Nm ^-2 . Bulk modulus of water is 2.15 times 10^9 Nm ^-2 . The value of P is ____.

Numerical Answer Type:
Enter a numerical value Answer: 43 to 43 +4 marks

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula Bulk Modulus formula: B = - fracDelta PfracDelta VV implies Delta P = B left( frac-Delta VV ight) ### Core Logic Given specifications: - Fractional volume drop, frac-Delta VV = 0.2\% = frac0.2100 = 2 times 10^-3 - Bulk modulus value, B = 2.15 times 10^9\ mathrmN/m^2 Calculating excess pressure: Delta P = 2.15 times 10^9 times 2 times 10^-3 Delta P = 4.3 times 10^6\ mathrmN/m^2 = 43 times 10^5\ mathrmN/m^2 Comparing with P times 10^5, we get P = 43. ### Pattern Recognition Bulk modulus measures a fluid's resistance to compression. A tiny percentage reduction in volume requires a massive amount of pressure due to water's near-incompressibility. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Mechanical Properties of Solids

The depth below the surface of sea to which a rubber ball be taken so as to decrease its volume by 0.02\% is ________ mathrmm. (Take density of sea water = 10^3mathrm\ kgm^-3, Bulk modulus of rubber = 9 times 10^8mathrm\ Nm^-2, and g = 10mathrm\ ms^-2)
Numerical Answer. Answer: 18 to 18

Solution

### Related Formula beta = frac-Delta PfracDelta VV Delta P = rho g h ### Core Logic The change in pressure Delta P is the hydrostatic pressure at depth h. Delta P = -beta fracDelta VV rho g h = -beta fracDelta VV ### Step 2: Calculation Given values: rho = 10^3mathrm\,kg/m^3 g = 10mathrm\,m/s^2 beta = 9 times 10^8mathrm\,N/m^2 fracDelta VV = -0.02\% = -frac0.02100 Substitute into the equation: 10^3 times 10 times h = - (9 times 10^8) times left(-frac0.02100right) 10^4 times h = 9 times 10^8 times 2 times 10^-4 10^4 h = 18 times 10^4 h = 18mathrm\,m ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Mechanical Properties Of Solids Class 11 Physics: Mechanical Properties Of Fluids
