An external pressure $P$ is applied on a cube at $0^o C$ so that it is equally compressed from all sides. $K$ is the bulk modulus of the material of the cube and $\alpha$ is its coefficient of linear expansion. Suppose we want to bring the cube to its original size by heating. The temperature should be raised by

The compressibility of a material is defined as:

It is found that an increase in pressure of $100 \, kPa$ causes a certain volume of water to decrease by $5 \times 10^{-3}$ percent of its original volume. Then the speed of sound in the water is about .... $m/s$ (density of water $10^3 \, kg/m^3$)

Explain why solids are the least compressible and gases are the most compressible based on the bulk modulus.

If the Bulk modulus of lead is $8.0 \times 10^9 \, N/m^2$ and the initial density of the lead is $11.4 \, g/cc$,then under the pressure of $2.0 \times 10^8 \, N/m^2$,the density of the lead is ............. $g/cc$.
