Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A solid cube of aluminum with an edge length of 0.1 m is subjected to a uniform hydraulic pressure of 1 × 10^5 Pa. Calculate the change in volume if the bulk modulus of aluminum is 72 × 10^9 N/m².
💡 Hint: Use the formula for bulk modulus to find volume change.
Compare the change in volume of a solid ball and a gas under the same pressure of 1 × 10^5 Pa, assuming the bulk modulus of the solid is 1 × 10^9 Pa and the gas is 1 × 10^-4 Pa. Calculate fractional changes.
💡 Hint: Remember, the larger the bulk modulus, the smaller the change in volume.
