6 Questions
Compute the bulk modulus of water from the given data.
2.2 x 10^9 Pa
Explain why the ratio of the bulk modulus of water to air is so large.
The large ratio is due to the higher bulk modulus of water compared to air, which is a result of the closer packing of water molecules and stronger intermolecular forces in water.
What is the density of water at a depth where the pressure is 80.0 atm?
1.31 x 10^3 kg m^-3
Compute the fractional change in volume of a glass slab when subjected to a hydraulic pressure of 10 atm.
0.0103
Determine the volume contraction of a solid copper cube, 10 cm on an edge, when subjected to a hydraulic pressure of 7.0 x 10^6 Pa.
0.007 cm^3
How much should the pressure on a litre of water be changed to compress it by 0.10%?
2.2 x 10^6 Pa
