Capitolo 11, Problema 33

A specimen of oil having an initial volume of 600 cm3 is subjected to a pressure increase of 3.6×106 Pa, and the volume is found to decrease by 0.45 cm3. What is the bulk modulus of the material and the compressibility?

Understand the concept of bulk modulus, which is a measure of a material's resistance to uniform compression. It is defined as the ratio of the pressure increase to the relative decrease in volume.
Use the formula for bulk modulus (B): B = -ΔP / (ΔV/V₀), where ΔP is the change in pressure, ΔV is the change in volume, and V₀ is the initial volume.
Substitute the given values into the formula: ΔP = 3.6×10^6 Pa, ΔV = -0.45 cm³ (negative because the volume decreases), and V₀ = 600 cm³.
Calculate the bulk modulus using the substituted values. Remember to keep the units consistent, especially when dealing with volume changes.
To find the compressibility (κ), which is the reciprocal of the bulk modulus, use the formula: κ = 1/B. This will give you the material's compressibility in terms of Pa⁻¹.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Bulk Modulus

Bulk modulus is a measure of a material's resistance to uniform compression. It is defined as the ratio of the pressure increase to the relative decrease in volume. Mathematically, it is expressed as B = -ΔP / (ΔV/V), where ΔP is the change in pressure, ΔV is the change in volume, and V is the initial volume.

Compressibility

Compressibility is the reciprocal of the bulk modulus and indicates how much a material can be compressed under pressure. It is defined as the fractional change in volume per unit increase in pressure. A higher compressibility means the material is more easily compressed, and it is calculated as κ = 1/B.

Pressure-Volume Relationship

The pressure-volume relationship describes how the volume of a material changes in response to applied pressure. In the context of bulk modulus, this relationship is crucial for determining how much a material compresses when subjected to external forces, allowing for calculations of bulk modulus and compressibility.

In the Challenger Deep of the Marianas Trench, the depth of seawater is 10.9 km and the pressure is 1.16×108 Pa (about 1.15×103 atm). If a cubic meter of water is taken from the surface to this depth, what is the change in its volume? (Normal atmospheric pressure is about 1.0×105 Pa. Assume that k for seawater is the same as the freshwater value given in Table 11.2.)
