### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Definition of Bulk Modulus of Elasticity**: The bulk modulus of elasticity (B) is defined as the ratio of normal stress to the volume strain. It quantifies how incompressible a material is when subjected to uniform pressure. 2. **Understanding Normal Stress**: Normal stress (σ) is defined as the force (F) applied per unit area (A). Mathematically, it can be expressed as: \[ ...
