Mechanical Properties Of Solids Question 8
Question 8 - 2024 (31 Jan Shift 1)
The depth below the surface of sea to which a rubber ball be taken so as to decrease its volume by $0.02 %$ is $\mathrm{m}$.
(Take density of sea water $=10^{3} \mathrm{kgm}^{-3}$, Bulk modulus of rubber $=9 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}$, and $\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}$ )

Answer: (18)
Solution:
$\beta=\frac{-\Delta \mathrm{P}}{\frac{\Delta \mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{V}}}$
$\Delta \mathrm{P}=-\beta \frac{\Delta \mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{V}}$
$\rho g \mathrm{~h}=-\beta \frac{\Delta \mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{V}}$
$10^{3} \times 10 \times \mathrm{h}=-9 \times 10^{8} \times\left(-\frac{0.02}{100}\right)$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{h}=18 \mathrm{~m}$
