The density and bulk modulus of a metal bar are $\rho$ and $K$ respectively. When pressure $P$ is applied from all sides to that metal bar,the increase in its density is

  • A
    $\frac{\rho P}{K}$
  • B
    $\frac{\rho P}{K-P}$
  • C
    $\frac{K-P}{\rho}$
  • D
    $\frac{K+P}{\rho}$

The volume of a material reduces by $2 \%$ when the pressure is increased from $1 \text{ atm}$ to $2 \text{ atm}$. What is its bulk modulus?

Consider a fluid in a container. Let the density of the fluid at the surface and at depth $H$ be $\rho_0$ and $\rho$ respectively. The bulk modulus of the fluid is $B_0$. If $\rho = \frac{\rho_0}{1 - \frac{\rho g H}{B_0}}$, find the constant $\alpha$ in the expression $\rho = \frac{\rho_0}{1 + \alpha \rho g H}$ (Assume $\frac{\rho - \rho_0}{\rho_0} \ll 1$).

How much pressure (in atm) is needed to compress a sample of water by $0.4 \%$ (in $\text{ atm}$)? (Assume, Bulk modulus of water $\approx 2.0 \times 10^9 \text{ Pa}$)

The compressibility of water is $5 \times 10^{-10} \ m^2/N$. $A$ pressure of $15 \times 10^6 \ Pa$ is applied on $100 \ ml$ volume of water. The change in the volume of water is:
