Question

Fractional decrease in volume for water at depth where pressure is 5×10⁶ N/m² (Bulk modulus = 2.2×10⁹ N/m²)?
Options
A 2.3 × 10⁻³
Correct Answer
B 3 × 10⁻³
C 2.3
D 141
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Fractional change = ΔP/B = 5×10⁶ / 2.2×10⁹ ≈ 2.3×10⁻³.

Hint

ΔV/V = ΔP/B.
