The bulk modulus of a liquid is 3 $\times$ 1010 Nm$-$2. The pressure required to reduce the volume of liquid by 2% is :
Solution
<p>$\because$ $B = {{\Delta P} \over {\left( { - {{\Delta V} \over V}} \right)}}$</p>
<p>$\Rightarrow \Delta P = 3 \times {10^{10}} \times (0.02)$</p>
<p>$= 6 \times {10^8}$ N/m<sup>2</sup></p>
