A sample of a liquid is kept at 1 atm. It is compressed to 5 atm which leads to a change of volume of 0.8 cm3. If the bulk modulus of the liquid is 2 GPa, the initial volume of the liquid was litre. (Take 1 atm = 105 Pa)

Answer

4

Solution

B = P V/V V = B V P

P = 5 - 1 = 4 atm = 4 105 Pa, V = 0.8 10-6 m3, B = 2 109 Pa

V = 2 109 0.8 10-64 105

= 4 10-3 m3 = 4 litre

Answer: 4

Two slabs with square cross section of different materials (1, 2) with equal sides (l) and thickness d1 and d2 such that d2 = 2d1 and l > d2. Considering lower edges of these slabs are fixed to the floor, we apply equal shearing force on the narrow faces. The angle of deformation is 2 = 2 1. If the shear modulus of material 1 is 4 109 N/m2, then shear modulus of material 2 is x 109 N/m2, where value of x is .
