1.

State few applications of bulk modulus.

Answer»

1. When a balloon is filled with air at high pressure, its walls experience a force from within. It tries to expand the balloon and change its size without changing shape. When the volume stress exceeds the limit of bulk elasticity, the balloon explodes.

2. A gas cylinder explodes when the pressure inside it exceeds the limit of bulk elasticity of its material.

3. A submarine when submerged under water is under volume stress. The depth it can reach within water depends upon its limit of bulk elasticity.
