Find the change in the volume of 1.0 liter kerosene when it is subjected to an extra pressure of 2.0 × 105 N m-2 from the following data. Density of kerosene = 800 kg m-3 and speed of sound in kerosene 1330 m s-1.
Given:
Volume of kerosene ![]()
Pressure applied ![]()
Density of kerosene ![]()
Speed of sound in kerosene ![]()
Change in volume of kerosene ![]()
The velocity in terms of the bulk modulus
and density
is given by:

Where, ![]()
⇒![]()
As we know,

∴ 
On substituting the respective values, we get:

Therefore, the change in the volume of kerosene ![]()
