The compressibility of water is $4 \times 10^{-5}$ per unit atmospheric pressure. The decrease in volume of 100 cubic centimeter of water under a pressure of 100 atmosphere will be
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
$c = \frac{1}{k} = \frac{\Delta V / V}{\Delta P} \Rightarrow \Delta V = c \times \Delta P \times V$
$= 4 \times 10^{-5} \times 100 \times 100 = 0.4cc$
