Compute the fractional change in volume of a glass slab, when subjected to a hydraulic pressure of 10 atm.

Asked by Abhisek | 1 year ago |  92

##### Solution :-

Given,

Pressure acting on the glass plate, p = 10 atm

= 10 × 1.013 × 105 Pa

We know,

Bulk modulus of glass, B = 37 × 109 Nm–2

= Bulk modulus, B = p / (∆V/V)

Where,

$$\dfrac{∆V}{V}$$ = Fractional change in volume

$$\dfrac{∆V}{V}$$$$\dfrac{p}{B}$$

$$\dfrac{10 × 1.013 × 10^5}{(37 × 10^9)}$$

= 2.73 × 10 -4

Therefore, the fractional change in the volume of the glass plate is 2.73 × 10–4.
