The bulk modulus of a spherical object i...

The bulk modulus of a spherical object is B. If it is subjected to uniform pressure p, the fractional decrease in radius is

A

`p/B`

B

`B/(3p)`

C

`(3p)/(B)`

D

`p/(3B)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`B=(p)/(((DeltaV)/(V)))`
`(DeltaV)/(V)=(p)/(B)`
`3(Deltar)/(r)=(p)/(B)`
`(Deltar)/(r)=(p)/(3B)`
