The density of a metal at normal pressure is `rho`, Its density when it is subjected to an excess pressure `rho` is `rho'` IF B is bulk modulus of the metal, the ratio of `(rho')/rho` is

A

`1+B/p`

B

`1/(1-p/B)`

C

`1+p/B`

D

`1/(1+p/B)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Volume strain= change in pressure=p
Initial volume `V=M/P`
Final volume , `V.=M/(rho.)`
Change in volume , `V.=V=M((rho-rho.)/(rho.rho))`
`therefore` Volume strain = `(V.-V)/V=(rho-rho.)/(rho.)`
`therefore B=(pV)/(V.-V)=(ptimesrho.)/(rho-rho.)`
or,`p/B=(rho-rho.)/(rho.)=(rho.-rho)/(rho.)`
or, `rho/(rho.)=1-p/B`
`therefore(rho.)/rho=1/(1-p/B)`
