A metallic cube of side 100 cm is subjected to a uniform force acting normal to the whole surface of the cube. The pressure is `10^6` pascal. If the volume change by `1.5 xx 10^(-5) m^(3)`, calculate the bulk modulus of the material .

Explanation

By definition, `K = (F/A)/((DeltaV)/(V)) = P (V)/(DeltaV)`
`K = (10^6 xx 1)/(1.5 xx 10^(-5)) = 6.67 xx 10^(10) N m^(-2)`
