1.	A metallic cube of side 100 cm is subjected to a uniform force acting normal to the whole surface of the cube. The pressure is 10^6 pascal. If the volume change by 1.5 xx 10^(-5) m^(3), calculate the bulk modulus of the material .
Answer» SOLUTION :By DEFINITION, `K = (F/A)/((DeltaV)/(V)) = P (V)/(DeltaV)` `K = (10^6 XX 1)/(1.5 xx 10^(-5)) = 6.67 xx 10^(10) N m^(-2)`
