Q78 / 90 · JEE Main 2018 (08 Apr) · Physics

A solid sphere of radius r made of a soft material of bulk modulus K is surrounded by a liquid in a cylindrical container. A massless piston of area a floats on the surface of the liquid, covering entire cross-section of cylindrical container. When a mass m is placed on the surface of the piston to compress the liquid, the fractional decrement in the radius of the sphere drr , is:

  • A
    mgKa
  • B
    Kamg
  • C
    Ka3mg
  • Correct answer
    D
    mg3Ka

Solution

For sphere,∨=43πr3⇒∆∨∨=3∆rr⇒P=KΔVV
⇒P=3KΔRR⇒mg3Ka=ΔRR.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
