Question

Explain bulk modulus and also tell what is the reciprocal of bulk modulus .

Answer 1

$<b><u>HEY BUDDY$

==> Bulk modulus is defined as the,,, ratio of HYDRAULIC STRESS to the volume strain.....

It is given by,,,,

B= -p/∆V/v

where p is HYDRAULIC STRESS,, while ∆V/v is volume strain.....

And buddy,

It's reciprocal is called as $\huge\bold{COMPRESSIBILITY}$

i.e, given by,,,,,

K = 1/ B.....


..IT IS defined as the fractional CHANGE in volume per unit increase in PRESSURE........

Answer 2

when a normal force is applied on elastic body it is uniformly compressed .

bulk modulus is normal stress upon volumetric strain .....

reciprocal of bulk modulus is called compressibility .
