When mass M is placed on the piston, the excess pressure, p=Mg/A. As the pressure is equally applicable from all the direction on the sphere, hence there will be decrease in volume due to decrease in raius sphere. Volume of the sphere, \(V=\frac { 3 }{ 4 } \pi { R }^{ 3 }\)
Differentiating it , we get,
\(\Delta V=\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi (3{ R }^{ 2 })\Delta R=4\pi { R }^{ 2 }\Delta R\)
\(\\ \frac { \Delta V }{ V } =\frac { 4\pi { R }^{ 2 }\Delta R }{ \frac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi { R }^{ 3 } } =\frac { 3\Delta R }{ R } \)
We know that, \(B=\frac { P }{ dV/V } =\frac { Mg }{ A } \diagup \frac { 3\Delta R }{ R } \)
\(or\ \frac { \Delta R }{ R } =\frac { Mg }{ 3BA } \)
7.
Bulk modulus \((B)=\frac { p }{ \Delta V/V } =\frac { pV }{ \Delta V } \)
For perfectly rigid body, change in volume Δ V=0
\(B=\frac { pV }{ 0 } =\infty \)
Therefore, Bulk modulus for a perfectly rigd body is \(\infty \)
8.
Young's modulus \(Y=\frac{F}{A} \times \frac{l}{\Delta l}\)
For a perfectly rigid body, change in length Δl=0
\(Y=\frac{F}{A} \times \frac{l}{0}=\infty\)
Therefore, Young's modulus for a perfectly rigid bosy is ∞.
9.
According to Hooke's law,
Modulus of elasticity, E = \(\frac { F }{ \pi { r }^{ 2 } } \times \frac { l }{ \Delta l } \)
or \(\Delta l=\frac { Fl }{ \pi { r }^{ 2 }E } \)
or \(\Delta l\propto \frac { Fl }{ { r }^{ 2 } } \) [ \(\because\) E is same for two wires]
\(\therefore\) \(\frac { \Delta { l }_{ 1 } }{ \Delta { l }_{ 2 } } =\frac { { F }_{ 1 } }{ { F }_{ 2 } } \times \frac { { l }_{ 1 } }{ { l }_{ 2 } } \times \frac { { r }_{ 2 }^{ 2 } }{ { r }_{ 1 }^{ 2 } } \)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \times \frac { 2 }{ 1 } \times \left( \frac { 3 }{ 1 } \right) ^{ 2 }=\frac { 9 }{ 2 } \)
So, \(\Delta { l }_{ 1 }\quad :\Delta { l }_{ 2 }\)
= 9 : 2

\( \Delta V=?, B=22000 \mathrm{~atm} .=22000 \times 76 \times 13.6 \times 980 \text { dyne } / \mathrm{sq} . \mathrm{cm} . \)

Given, radius of steel cable (r) = 1.5 cm = 1.5 x 10-2m
Maximum stress = 108 N/m2
Area of cross-section of steel cable (A) = \(\pi { r }^{ 2 }\)
= 3.14 x (1.5 x 10-2)2 m2
= 3.14 x 2.25 x 10-4 m2
Maximum stress = \(\frac { Maximum\ force }{ Area\ of\ cross-section } \)
or Maximum force = Maximum stress x Area of cross-section
= 108 x (3.14 x 2.25 x 10-4 ) N
= 7.065 x 104 N
= 7.1 x 104 N

Area of cross-section (A) = 0.5\(\times \) 10-2 cm2
= 0.5 \(\times \)10-6 m2
Mass (m) = 100 g = 0.1 kg
\(\therefore \) Load (w) = mg = 0.1\(\times \) 9.8N = 0.98 N
Young's modulus for steel (Y) = 2 \(\times \)1011 Pa
Area (A) = \(\pi \)r2
or r2 = \(\frac { A }{ \pi } =\frac { 0.5\times { 10 }^{ -6 } }{ \pi } \)

\( \delta =\frac { w{ l }^{ 3 } }{ 12\pi { r }^{ 4 }Y } =\frac { 0.98\times { (1) }^{ 3 } }{ 12\pi \times { \left( \frac { 0.5\times { 10 }^{ -6 } }{ \pi } \right) }^{ 2 }\times 2\times { 10 }^{ 11 } } \)
\(\delta =\frac { 0.98\times \pi }{ 12\times 0.25\times 2\times { 10 }^{ -1 } } \)
= 5.12 m
18.
(i) The resolved part of F along the normal is the tensile force on this plane and the resolved part parallel to the plane is the shearing force on the plane.
Area of MO plane section = A \(\sec { \theta } \)
Tensile stress =\(\frac { Force }{ Area } \)= \(\frac { F\cos { \theta } }{ F\sec { \theta } } \)
=\(\frac { F }{ A } \cos ^{ 2 }{ \theta } \) \(\left[ \because \quad \sec { \theta } =\frac { 1 }{ \cos { \theta } } \right] \quad \)
(ii) Shearing stress applied on the top face

Shearing stress =\(\frac { Force }{ Area } \)=\(\frac { F\sin { \theta } }{ A\sec { \theta } } \)
= \(\frac { F }{ A } \sin { \theta } \cos { \theta } \)
= \(\frac { F }{ 2A } \sin { 2\theta } \) \(\left[ \because \quad \sin { 2\theta } =2\sin { \theta } \cos { \theta } \right] \)
(iii) Tensile stress will be maximum when \(\cos ^{ 2 }{ \theta } \)i is maximum i.e. \(\cos { \theta } \) = 1 or \( \theta\) = 0°.
(iv) Shearing stress will be maximum when \(sin 2 \theta\) is maximum i.e. \(sin 2 \theta\) = 1 or \(2\theta\) = 90° or \( \theta\) = 45°.
19.
Given, compressional force, F = 50000 N
Diameter, D = 0.5 mm = 5\(\times \)10-4 m
Radius, r = \(\frac { D }{ 2 } \) = 2.5 \(\times \)10-4m
Pressure at the tip of the anvil (p) = \(\frac { Force }{ Area } \)
\( p=\frac { F }{ \pi { r }^{ 2 } } =\frac { 50000 }{ { \left( 2.5\times { 10 }^{ -4 } \right) }^{ 2 } } \)

\(Work\ done\ in\ strtching\ a\ wire\ is\ given\ by\)
\(\\ W=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } F\times \triangle l\)
\(\\ As\ springs\ of\ steel\ and\ copper\ are\ equally\ streched.Therefore,for\ same\ force(F).\)
\(\\ W\propto \triangle l\)
\(\\ Young's\ modulus\ (Y)=\frac { F }{ A } \times \frac { l }{ \triangle l } \)
\(\\ or\ \triangle l=\frac { F }{ A } \times \frac { l }{ Y } \)
\(\\ As\ both\ springs\ are\ identical\)
\( \triangle l\propto \frac { 1 }{ Y } \)
\(\\ From \ Eqs.(i) \ and \ (ii),\ we \ get \ W\propto \frac { 1 }{ Y }\)
\( \\ \therefore \frac { { W }_{ steel } }{ { W }_{ copper } } =\frac { { Y }_{ copper } }{ { Y }_{ steel } } <1\ [as\ { Y }_{ steel }>{ Y }_{ copper }]\)
\(\\ or\ { W }_{ steel }\ <\ { W }_{ copper }\)
\(\\ Therefore,\ more\ work\ will\ be\ done\ for\ stretching\ copper\ spring.\)

Given, diameter of wires (2r) = 0.25 cm
\(\therefore \) r = 0.125 cm
= 1.25 \(\times\) 10-3 m
For steel wire,
Load (F1) = (4 + 6) kgf
= 10 \(\times\) 9.8N = 98N
Length of steel wire (l1) = 1.5 m
Young's modulus (Y1 ) = 2.0 \(\times\) 1011 Pa
Young's modulus (Y) = \(\frac { { F }_{ 1 }\times { l }_{ 1 } }{ { A }_{ 1 }\times { \Delta l }_{ 1 } } \)
\(\therefore \) Change in length (\({ \Delta l }_{ 1 }\)) = \(\frac { { F }_{ 1 }\times { l }_{ 1 } }{ { A }_{ 1 }\times { Y }_{ 1 } } =\frac { { F }_{ 1 }\times { l }_{ 1 } }{ { \pi }{ r }_{ 1 }^{ 2 }\times { Y }_{ 1 } } \)
= \(\frac { 98\times 1.5 }{ 3.14\times { \left( 1.25\times { 10 }^{ -3 } \right) }^{ 2 }\times 2.0\times { 10 }^{ 11 } } \)
= 1.5\(\times\)10-4 m
For brass wire,
Load (F2) = 6 kgf = 6\(\times\) 9.8N = 58.8 N
Length of brass wire ( l2) = 1.0m
Young's modulus (Y2) = 0.91 \(\times\) 1011Pa
Change in length(\({ \Delta l }_{ 2 }\)) = \(\frac { { F }_{ 2 }\times { l }_{ 2 } }{ { \pi }{ r }_{ 2 }^{ 2 }\times { Y }_{ 2 } } \)
= \(\frac { 58.8\times 1.0 }{ 3.14\times { \left( 1.25\times { 10 }^{ -3 } \right) }^{ 2 }\times 0.91\times { 10 }^{ 11 } } \)
= 1.3\(\times\)10-4 m

Load(m) = 100 kg
Tangential force acting on one face of the cube, F = mg = 100\(\times \) 9.8 =980 N
Shear stress acting on this face = \(\frac { F }{ A } \) = \(\frac { 980 }{ 0.01 } \) N/m2
= 9.8 \(\times \)104 N/m2
Shear modulus of aluminium (\(\eta \)) = 25 GPa
= 25\(\times \) 109 N/m2
Shear modulus (\(\eta \))=\(\frac { Shearing\ stress }{ Shearing\ strain } \)
or shearing strain \(\left( \frac { \Delta L }{ L } \right) \) = \(\frac { Shearing\ stress }{ Shear\ modulus } \)
or \(\Delta L\) = \(\frac { Shearing\ stress }{ Shear\ modulus } \) \(\times \) L = \(\frac { 9.8\times { 10 }^{ 4 } }{ 25\times { 10 }^{ 9 } } \)\(\times \) 0.1
