12.3 Exercise 30

Avg difficulty 2.5

The bulk modulus of a material is 1.0×1011N/m2.1.0 \times 10^{11} \text{N}/\text{m}^{2} . What fractional change in volume does a piece of this material undergo when it is subjected to a bulk stress increase of 107N/m2?10^{7} \text{N}/\text{m}^{2} ? Assume that the force is applied uniformly over the surface.
