Question

A uniform cubical block is subjected to volumetric compression, which decreases its each side by 2%. The Bulk strain produced in it is

Answer 1

hey mate
here's the solution

Answer 2

Hey dear,

◆ Answer-
Bulk strain = 6 %

◆ Explaination -
Let l be the length of the each side of cube.

# Given-
∆l/l = 2 %

# Solution-
Volume of the cubical block is given by-
V = l^3

Using formula for percentage error -
∆V/V = 3 ∆l/l
∆V/V = 3 × 2%
∆V/V = 6 %

Threfore, bulk strain produced in the cubicle block is 6 %.

Hope this helps you...
