A gas occupies a volume of 5.0 m³ at a pressure of 100 kPa. If the pressure increases to 300 kPa, calculate the new volume and determine the bulk modulus.
💡 Hint: Remember to apply the ideal gas principles and bulk modulus formulas.
In a hydraulic system, the bulk modulus is measured to be 1,500,000 kPa. If the system experiences a pressure change of 100 kPa, what is the approximate change in volume for a fluid of initial volume 2 m³?
💡 Hint: Utilize the bulk modulus equation efficiently to solve for volume change.
