What is the pressure required to reduce the given volume of water by 1% ? (Bulk modulus K=2×108 N m-2)
  1. 2×105 N m-2
  2. 2×106 N m-2
  3. 2×107 N m-2
  4. 2×108 N m-2

Solution

Given that

Bulk modulus K=2×108 N m-2

Volume change vv=1%

Bulk modulus is given by 

k=pvv

p=kvvp=2×1080.01=2×106
