A cube is subjected to pressure of `5 xx 10^(5)N//m^(2)`. Each side of the cube is shortened by 1%. Find volumetric strain and bulk modulus of elasticity of cube.

Explanation

To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the volumetric strain and the bulk modulus of elasticity of the cube subjected to pressure.

### Step 1: Understand the given data
- Pressure (P) = \(5 \times 10^5 \, \text{N/m}^2\)
- The side of the cube is shortened by 1%.

### Step 2: Define the initial side length of the cube
Let the initial side length of the cube be \(L\).
