Question 1
Determine the volume contraction of a solid copper cube, 10 cm on an edge, when subjected to a hydraulic pressure of 7.0 × 10^6 Pa. (Bulk modulus of copper = 1.4 × 10^11 Pa)
Question 2
What is the fractional change in volume of a glass slab when subjected to a hydraulic pressure of 10 atm? (Bulk modulus of glass = 3.7 × 10^10 Pa)
Question 3
What is the density of water at a depth where pressure is 80.0 atm, given that its density at the surface is 1.03 × 10^3 kg/m³? (Assume bulk modulus of water = 2.026 × 10^9 Pa)
Question 4
What is the bulk modulus of an ideal incompressible fluid?
Question 5
How does alloying affect the bulk modulus of metals?
