JEE MAIN - Physics (2025 - 24th January Evening Shift - No. 22)

The increase in pressure required to decrease the volume of a water sample by $0.2 \%$ is $\mathrm{P} \times 10^5 \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}$. Bulk modulus of water is $2.15 \times 10^9 \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}$. The value of P is _________ .
Answer
43

Explanation

$$\begin{aligned} &\text { Since bulk modulus is given as }\\ &\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{B}=\frac{-\Delta \mathrm{P}}{\left(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{~V}}{\mathrm{~V}}\right)} \\ & 2.15 \times 10^9=\frac{-\Delta \mathrm{P}}{-\left(\frac{0.2}{100}\right)} \\ & \Delta \mathrm{P}=2.15 \times 10^9 \times 2 \times 10^{-3} \\ & =4.3 \times 10^6=43 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2 \end{aligned} \end{aligned}$$
