Q.

The volume contraction of a solid copper cube of edge length 10 cm, when subjected to a hydraulic pressure of 7×106Pa, would be _______ mm3.   

(Given bulk modulus of copper = 1.4×1011 Nm-2)                     [2025]


Ans.

(50)

B=PVV=VPV

 V=VPB=(100 mm)3×7×106Pa1.4×1011N/m2=50 mm3

 |V|=50 mm3
