Define bulk modulus of elasticity. Give its units and dimensions.

Open in App

Solution

Bulk modulus of elasticity is defined as the ratio of change in pressure to the volume strain of the object.
Bulk modulus of elasticity $B = \frac{- Δ P}{Δ V / V}$
Units of B is $N / m^{2}$
Dimensions of B is $[M L^{- 1} T^{- 2}]$
