Calculate the stress developed inside a tooth cavity filled with copper when hot tea at a temperature of $57\,^{\circ}C$ is drunk. You can take the body (tooth) temperature to be $37\,^{\circ}C$ and $\alpha = 1.7 \times 10^{-5}/^{\circ}C$,bulk modulus for copper $= 140 \times 10^9\, N/m^2$.

Under isothermal condition,the pressure of a gas is given by $P = aV^{-3}$,where $a$ is a constant and $V$ is the volume of the gas. The bulk modulus at constant temperature is equal to $..........\,P$.

$A$ solid sphere of radius $r$ made of a soft material of bulk modulus $K$ is surrounded by a liquid in a cylindrical container. $A$ massless piston of area $a$ floats on the surface of the liquid,covering the entire cross-section of the cylindrical container. When a mass $m$ is placed on the surface of the piston to compress the liquid,the fractional decrement in the radius of the sphere,$\left( \frac{dr}{r} \right)$ is:
