Q. 15
Find the change in the volume of 1.0 liter kerosene when it is subjected to an extra pressure of 2.0 × 105 N m-2 from the following data. Density of kerosene = 800 kg m-3 and speed of sound in kerosene 1330 m s-1.
Answer :
Given:
Volume of kerosene
Pressure applied
Density of kerosene
Speed of sound in kerosene
Change in volume of kerosene
The velocity in terms of the bulk modulus and density
is given by:
Where,
⇒
As we know,
∴
On substituting the respective values, we get:
Therefore, the change in the volume of kerosene
