A sphere contracts in volume by `0.02%` when taken to the bottom of sea one km deep. Find bulk modulus of the material of the sphere. Density of sea water is `1000kg//m^3`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`nu/v=0.02/100p=1000 cm` of water column =`1000xx10^3xx9.8Pa`
`therefore B=p/(nu/v)=(1000xx10^3xx9.8)/(0.02//100)=4.9xx10^10 Pa`
