Density, Compressibility & Pascal's Law

A certain pressure 'PP' is applied to 1 litre of water and 2 litre of a liquid separately. Water gets compressed to 0.01%0.01\% whereas the liquid gets compressed to 0.03%0.03\%. The ratio of Bulk modulus of water to that of the liquid is 3x\frac{3}{x}. The value of xx is ____________.

Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Answer: 1

  1. B=PΔV/VB = \dfrac{P}{\Delta V/V}; with the same PP, B∝1ΔV/VB \propto \dfrac{1}{\Delta V/V} (original volume does not matter).
  2. BwBl=0.03%0.01%=3=3x\dfrac{B_w}{B_l} = \dfrac{0.03\%}{0.01\%} = 3 = \dfrac{3}{x}
  3. So x=1x = 1.
