It is found that an increase in pressure of $100 \, kPa$ causes a certain volume of water to decrease by $5 \times 10^{-3}$ percent of its original volume. Then the speed of sound in the water is about .... $m/s$ (density of water $10^3 \, kg/m^3$)

  • A
    $330$
  • B
    $1414$
  • C
    $1732$

$A$ bottle has an opening of radius $a$ and length $b$. $A$ cork of length $b$ and radius $(a + \Delta a)$,where $(\Delta a << a)$,is compressed to fit into the opening completely (see figure). If the bulk modulus of the cork is $B$ and the frictional coefficient between the bottle and the cork is $\mu$,then the force needed to push the cork into the bottle is:

The increase in pressure required to decrease the volume of a water sample by $0.2 \%$ is $\text{P} \times 10^5 \text{Nm}^{-2}$. Bulk modulus of water is $2.15 \times 10^9 \text{Nm}^{-2}$. The value of $\text{P}$ is . . . . . . .
