Question

When water freezes, its volume increases by 9.05% (that is, ΔV / V0 = 9.05 × 10-2). What force per unit area is water capable of exerting on a container when it freezes? (It is acceptable to use the bulk modulus of water, B = 2.2 × 109 N/m2, for this problem.) Give your answer in N/cm2.

Answer 1

P = 1.99 10⁸ Pa

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of the bulk module is

B = - P / (ΔV / V)

The negative sign is included for which balk module is positive, P is the pressure and V that volume

They tell us that the variation in volume is 9.05%, that is

ΔV / V = ​​9.0Δ5 / 100 = 0.0905

P = - B DV / V

P = 2.2 10⁹ (0.0905)

P = 1.99 10⁸ Pa
