Question:
How much should the pressure on a litre of water be changed to compress it by 0.10%?
Answer:
Volume of water V = 1 L
Water is to be compressed by 0.10 %
Therefore,
ΔV/V = 0.1/100 x 1 = 10-3
Bulk modulus B = Ï/ ΔV/V
Ï = B x ΔV/V
Bulk modulus of water (B) = 2.2 x 109 N/m2
Ï = 2.2 x 109 x 10-3 = 2.2 x 106 N/m2
Therefore, the pressure on water should be 2.2 x 106 N/m2
