JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 4th September Evening Slot - No. 17)

A cube of metal is subjected to a hydrostatic pressure of 4 GPa. The percentage change in the length of the side of the cube is close to :
(Given bulk modulus of metal, B = 8 $$ \times $$ 1010 Pa)
0.6
20
1.67
5

Explanation

Bulk Modulus, B = $$\left( - \right){{\Delta P} \over {\Delta V/V}} $$

$$\Delta P = -\left( {{{\Delta V} \over V}} \right).B$$

$$ = -{{3\Delta L} \over L} \times B$$

$$ \therefore $$ $$|{{\Delta L} \over L}| = {{\Delta P} \over {3B}}$$

$$ \therefore $$ % change, $${{\Delta L} \over L} \times 100\% $$

= $${1 \over 3}{{\Delta P} \over B} \times 100$$

= $${{4 \times {{10}^9}} \over {8 \times {{10}^{10}}}} \times 100$$

= $${1 \over {60}} \times 100$$ = 1.67
