An object is located at 2 km beneath the surface of the water. If the fractional compression is , the ratio of hydraulic stress to the corresponding hydraulic strain will be
[Given: density of water is and .]
[Given: density of water is and .]
- (A)
- (B)
- (C)
- (D)✓ Correct
Answer: (D)
Solution
The ratio of hydraulic stress to hydraulic strain is the bulk modulus. The stress is the pressure due to the column of water above the object,
and the strain is the fractional compression , so
The ratio is .
and the strain is the fractional compression , so
The ratio is .
