    A ball falling in a lake of depth 200 m shows 0.1% decrease in its volume at the bottom. What is the bulk modulus of the ball material? \[\left( \text{Take density of water }=\text{ 1}000\text{ kg}/{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}} \right)\]

    A)  \[19.6\times {{10}^{8}}N/{{m}^{2}}\]    

    B)  \[19.6\times {{10}^{-10}}N/{{m}^{2}}\]

    C)  \[19.6\times {{10}^{10}}N/{{m}^{2}}\]  

    D)  \[19.6\times {{10}^{-8}}N/{{m}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     When strain is small, the ratio of normal stress to the volume-strain is called the bulk modulus of the material of the body.                 \[K=\frac{p}{\Delta V/V}\] where p is pressure \[\left( =\frac{F}{A} \right)\], and \[\frac{\Delta V}{V}\] the change in volume Given,   \[\Delta V=0.1%\],          \[V=0.001\] volt \[p=h\rho g\]    \[p=200\times 1000\times 9.8\]                 \[=1.96\times {{10}^{6}}N/{{m}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[K=\frac{1.96\times {{10}^{6}}}{0.001}\]                 \[=19.6\times {{10}^{8}}N/{{m}^{2}}\]
