Concept explainers
Pressure needed to compress the iron block by 0.10% volume. Compare it with atmospheric pressure.
Answer to Problem 44P
Solution:
The pressure required for compress the iron block is 900 times greater than atmospheric pressure.
Explanation of Solution
Given: Volume change is 0.10% which is
The Bulk Modulus value for steel is
Formula Used:
The Bulk modulus of elasticity is defined as ratio bulk stress to bulk strain, which is given by
Where K is bulk modulus, V is the volume
Calculations: Substitute all the values in above equation and solve for change in pressure
Comparing this pressure with atmospheric pressure
The pressure required for compress the iron block is 900 times greater than atmospheric pressure.
Conclusion:
The pressure required for compress the iron block is 900 times greater than atmospheric pressure.
