Numerical Answer Type:
Enter a numerical value Answer: 50 +4 marks

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula Bulk modulus B measures a material's resistance to uniform compression and is defined as the ratio of hydraulic pressure to volumetric strain: B = fracDelta Pleft(fracDelta VVright) implies Delta V = fracDelta P cdot VB ### Core Logic Given parameters [cite: 192, 193]: * Edge length of the cube, a = 10 text cm = 0.1 text m * Initial volume, V = a^3 = (0.1)^3 = 10^-3 text m^3 = 10^6 text mm^3 * Hydraulic pressure increase, Delta P = 7 times 10^6 text Pa * Bulk Modulus, B = 1.4 times 10^11 text N/m^2 Substitute these values into the volume change equation : Delta V = frac7 times 10^6 times 10^-31.4 times 10^11 Delta V = frac7 times 10^31.4 times 10^11 = 5 times 10^-7 text m^3 quad text Convert the volume contraction into textmm^3: Delta V = 5 times 10^-7 times (10^3)^3 text mm^3 = 5 times 10^-7 times 10^9 text mm^3 = 50 text mm^3 ### Pattern Recognition Always perform unit conversions carefully at the final step to avoid handling complex decimals during calculations. Converting 1 text m^3 = 10^9 text mm^3 ensures a clean, error-free conversion. ### 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
