How much should the pressure on a litre of water be changed to compress it by 0.10%? Bulk modulus of elasticity of water = `2.2 xx 10^(9) Nm^(-2)`.

Explanation

Bulk modulus, B`=-(P)/((DeltaV)/(V))`
Here, `(DeltaV)/(V)=0.10% =-(0.10)/(100)=-1xx10^(-3)`
Change in pressure, `p=B(-(DeltaV)/(V))`
`=(2.2xx10^(9)Pa)xx1xx10^(-3)=2.2xx10^(6)Pa`
