1.	A sphere contracts in volume by 0.01 % when taken to the bottom of sea 1 km deep. Find the bulk modulus of the material of the sphere.
Answer» SOLUTION :Here `DELTA V = 0.01% ` of V ` = (0.01)/(100) xx V = 10^(-4) V` ` P = H RHO g= 10^3 xx 10^3 xx 9.8` ` = 9.8 xx 10^6 NM^(-2)` ` K = (PV)/(Delta V) = (9.8 xx 10^6 xx V)/(10^(-4) xx V) ` ` = 9.8 xx 10^10 Nm^(-2)`
