Question
A solid sphere of radius r made of a soft material of bulk modulus K is surrounded by a liquid in a cylindrical container. A massless piston of area a floats on the surface of the liquid, covering entire cross section of cylindrical container. When a mass m is placed on the surface of the piston to compress the liquid, the fractional decrement in the radius of the sphere, $\left( {{dr \over r}} \right)$ is:
${{mg} \over {Ka}}$
${{Ka} \over {mg}}$
${{Ka} \over {3mg}}$
${{mg} \over {3Ka}}$
