If the compressibility of water is sigma...

If the compressibility of water is `sigma` per unit atmospheric pressure then the decrease in volume V due to P atmospheric pressure will be

A

`sigma P //V`

B

`sigma PV`

C

`sigma//PV`

D

`sigma V//P`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Compressibility `(sigma) = (Delta V//V)/(P) rArr sigma= (Delta V)/(PV)`
`therefore Delta V= sigma PV`
