Given:
Volume of kerosene V = 1 litre =
Pressure applied P = 2.0 × 105 Nm
Density of kerosene ρ = 800 kgm−3
Speed of sound in kerosene v = 1330 ms−1
Change in volume of kerosene = ?
The velocity in terms of the bulk modulus and density is given by:
,
Therefore, the change in the volume of kerosene ∆V = 0.14 cm3.
