Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A solid cube of aluminum with an edge length of 0.1 m is subjected to a uniform hydraulic pressure of 1 Γ— 10^5 Pa. Calculate the change in volume if the bulk modulus of aluminum is 72 Γ— 10^9 N/mΒ².

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the formula for bulk modulus to find volume change.

Question 2

Compare the change in volume of a solid ball and a gas under the same pressure of 1 Γ— 10^5 Pa, assuming the bulk modulus of the solid is 1 Γ— 10^9 Pa and the gas is 1 Γ— 10^-4 Pa. Calculate fractional changes.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember, the larger the bulk modulus, the smaller the change in volume.
