Compute the fractional change in volume of a glass slab, when subjected to a hydraulic pressure of 10 atm.

Explanation

Bulk modulus `B = (P)/((Delta V)/(V))` (value)
`therefore ( Delta V )/(V) = (P)/(B) = (10 xx 1.013 xx 10 ^(5))/( 37 xx 10 ^(9))=0.027 378 xx 10 ^(-3) =2.74 xx 10 ^(-5)`
`therefore (Delta V )/(V) xx 100 % = 2.74 xx 10 ^(-5) xx 100% = 2.74 xx 10 ^(-3)& = 0.0027 4%=0.0027%`
Note : In real the answer is this , but in T.B. the ans of `~~ 0.0027 %` is given.
