The bulk modulus for an incompresssible liquid is

A

zero

B

unity

C

infinity

D

between 0 and 1

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

The Bulk modulus is given by, `B = - (pV)/(Delta v)`
If liquid is incompressible, so `Delta V = 0`
Hence, `B = - (pV)/(0) = prop implies B = prop` (infinity)
