EEJ MAIN Physics QUESTION #7105
Question 1
A material has density $\rho$ and bulk modulus $K$. If uniform pressure $P$ is applied, the increase in density will be: [cite: 494]
  • $\frac{\rho P}{K}$✔️
  • $\frac{\rho K}{P}$
  • $\frac{K}{\rho P}$
  • $\frac{PK}{\rho}$
Correct Answer Explanation

Bulk modulus $K = \rho \frac{dP}{d\rho}$ [cite: 494].

  • The change in density $d\rho = \frac{\rho dP}{K}$
  • With $dP = P$, the increase is $\frac{\rho P}{K}$[cite: 497].
