Bulk modulus in Mechanics

In mechanics, the bulk modulus is a measure of the resistance of a material to compression. It is defined as the ratio of the change in pressure to the fractional change in volume, under conditions of constant temperature. Mathematically, the bulk modulus (K) can be expressed as: K = – V ΔP / ΔV where…

Pressure in a fluid

Pressure in a fluid is the force per unit area that the fluid exerts on the surface it comes in contact with. This pressure is a result of the motion and collisions of the individual particles of the fluid, such as molecules or atoms, and is described by the fluid’s properties, such as its density…
