Compressibility = Bulk modulus 1 As bulk modulus is least for ethanol (0.9) and maximum for mercury (25) among ehtanol, mercury and water. Hence compression in volume VΔV Ethanol > Water > Mercury
JEE Main 2014 — Physics Mechanics
The bulk moduli of ethanol, mercury and water are given as 0.9,25 and 2.2 respectively in units of 109Nm−2. For a given value of pressure, the fractional compression in volume is VΔV. Which of the following statements about VΔV for these three liquids is correct ?

Two wires as shown in the figure below, made of steel and have breaking stress of $12 \times 10^8$ N/m$^2$. Area of cross-section of upper wire is $0.008$ cm$^2$ and of lower wire is $0.004$ cm$^2$. The maximum mass that can be added to pan without breaking any wire is _____ kg. (take $g = 10$ m/s$^2$) 
Given below are two statements: Statement I: A satellite is moving around earth in the orbit very close to the earth surface. The time period of revolution of satellite depends upon the density of earth. Statement II: The time period of revolution of the satellite is $T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{R_{e}}{g}}$ (for satellite very close to the earth surface), where $R_{\mathrm{e}}$ radius of earth and $g$ acceleration due to gravity. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
From $18$ m height above the ground a ball is dropped from rest. The height above the ground at which the magnitude of velocity equal to the magnitude of acceleration (in the same set of units) due to gravity is _____ m. (Take $g = 10$ m/s$^2$ and neglect the air resistance)
When a part of a straight capillary tube is placed vertically in a liquid, the liquid raises upto certain height $h$. If the inner radius of the capillary tube, density of the liquid and surface tension of the liquid decrease by $1 \%$ each, then the height of the liquid in the tube will change by $\%$.
If $\epsilon, E$ and $t$ represent the free space permittivity, electric field and time respectively, then the unit of $\frac{\epsilon E}{t}$ will be :
