Compute the fractional change in volume of a glass slab, when subjicted to a hydrautic pressure of 10 atmosphere. Bulk modulus of elasticity of glass = `37 xx 10^(9) Nm^(-2)` and 1 atm = `1.013 xx 10^(5)Pa`.

Explanation

To compute the fractional change in volume of a glass slab subjected to a hydraulic pressure of 10 atmospheres, we can use the formula related to bulk modulus of elasticity. The fractional change in volume (ΔV/V) can be calculated using the following relationship:

\[ \frac{\Delta V}{V} = -\frac{P}{B} \]

Where:
- \( P \) is the applied pressure,
