Consider a solid cube which is subjected to a pressure of `6xx10^(5) Nm^(-2)` . Due to this pressure, the each side of the cube is shortened by 2% . Find out the volumetric strain of the cube.

Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to find the volumetric strain of a solid cube subjected to a pressure that causes each side to shorten by 2%. Let's break it down step by step.

### Step 1: Understand the initial conditions
Let the initial length of each side of the cube be \( L \). Therefore, the initial volume \( V_i \) of the cube can be expressed as:
\[ V_i = L^3 \]
