A moonshiner makes the error of filling a glass jar to the brim and capping it tightly. The moonshine expands more than the glass when it warms up, in such a way that the volume increases by 0.6% (that is, ΔV/V0 = 6 ✕ 10-3) relative to the space available. Calculate the force exerted by the moonshine per square centimeter if the bulk modulus is 2.1 ✕ 109 N/m2, assuming the jar does not break.

Respuesta :

The force exerted per square centimeter is 126 N/cm².

What is pressure?

Pressure is the force acting per unit area.

  • Pressure = force/area

Based on the data given:

volume increase, ΔV/V0 = 6 * 10⁻³

Bulk Modulus, B = 2.1 * 10⁹ N/m²

Bulk modulus B of a material is ratio of change in pressure and change in volume as given below:

  • B = ΔP/ [(ΔV/V)]

Solving for ΔP;

ΔP = B * [(ΔV/V)]

ΔP = (2.1 * 10⁹ N/m²) * (6 * 10⁻³)

ΔP = 1.26 * 10⁶ N/m²

Converting to per square centimeter

ΔP = (1.26 * 10⁶ N/m²)/10⁴

ΔP = 126 N/cm²

In conclusion, the force exerted per square centimeter is a measure of the pressure.
