Physics Elasticity ( Mechanical Properties of Solids ) Mix MCQ (Single Correct)

The compressibility of water is 46.4 × 10 -6 atm. This means that

the bulk modulus of water is 46.4 × 10 6 atm

volume of water decreases by 46.4 one-millionths of the original volume for each atmosphere increase in pressure

when water is subjected to an additional pressure of one atmosphere, its volume decreases by 46.4%

When water is subjected to an additional pressure of one atmosphere, its volume is reduced to 10 –6 of its original volume.
