Question

write short note on bulk modulus
​

Answer 1

Bulk modulus, numerical constant that describes the elastic properties of a solid or fluid when it is under pressure on all surfaces. The applied pressure reduces the volume of a material, which returns to its original volume when the pressure is removed.

Answer 2

Bulk modulus is defined as the proportion of volumetric stress related to the volumetric strain for any material. In much simpler words, the bulk modulus is nothing but a numerical constant that is used to measure and describe the elastic properties of a solid or a fluid when pressure is applied.
