A ball is subjected to a pressure of 2.0 atmospheres.The un-squeezed diameter of the ball is 10.0 cm.The squeezed diameter of the ball is 9.999 cm.The bulk strain on the ball is A) 3.0 $\times$ 10^-4. B) 3.3 $\times$ 10^-4. C) 3.5 $\times$ 10^-4. D) 3.7 $\times$ 10^-4. E) 3.9 $\times$ 10^-4.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The bulk strain is calculated as the change in volume divided by the original volume. Since the diameter changes from 10.0 cm to 9.999 cm, the change in diameter is 0.001 cm. The bulk strain is approximately 3.0 * 10^-4.
