Q.

A solid sphere of radius R made of a material of bulk modulus B is surrounded by a liquid in a cylindrical container. A massless piston of area A (the area of container is also A) floats on the surface of the liquid. When a mass m is placed on the piston to compress the liquid, find the fractional change in radius of the sphere. (Given, MgAB= 0.3)

Detailed Solution

Increase in pressure is Δp=MgA

Bulk modulus is Δp=MgA

 ΔVV=ΔpB=MgAB   …………..(i)

Also, the volume of the sphere is V=43πR3ΔVV=3ΔRR

or ΔRR=13ΔVV 

using Eq. (i) we get, ΔRR=Mg3AB=0.33=0.1
