Question

Give an activity to show that solids are incompressible ,liquids are only slightly compressible while gasses are highly compressible.

Answer 1

Take three 100 ml syringes and remove their pistons.

Close their nozzles using rubber.

Fill one piston with chalk dust, the other with water and the other with air.

Return the pistons and push them.

OBSERVATIONS :

It requires more force to push the pistons containing chalk and water than the force required to push the piston of the syringe filled with air showing gases are highly compressible.

The syringe with water moves a distance more than that moves by the one with chalk dust showing that liquids are slightly compressible.
