The volume of 1 litre of glycerine decrease by `0.42 cm^3` on application of a pressure of `20 kg.cm^-2`.Calculate the bulk modulus of glycerine.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Bulk modulus, `K=(pV)/v`
Here, `p=20kg.cm^-2=20times1000times980dyn.cm^-2`
V=1litre`=1000cm^3,v=0.42 cm^3`
`therefore` Bulk modulus ,`K=(20times1000times980times1000)/0.42`
`=4.67times10^10dyn.cm^-2`
`=4.67times10^9N.m^-2`
