Q. The ratio of hydraulic stress to the corresponding strain is known as

KEAMKEAM 2014Mechanical Properties of Solids

Solution:

By Bulk modulus of elasticity,
It is defined as ratio of hydraulic stress to the corresponding the volumetric strain within the elastic limit.
$K=\frac{F V}{A \Delta V}=\frac{\Delta p \cdot V}{\Delta V}$
where, $\Delta p=\frac{F}{A}=$ change in pressure.
