The book has the answer as 0.28 mm, but I kept trying but couldn't get the same answer, though I was getting something close to that. I need expert help to cross-check my work.
Thanks for helping ðŸā¢Ā
10.5 Oil is confined to a cylindrical container with rigid walls by means of a closely fitting piston, as shown in Figure 10.49. The column of oil is initially 20.0 cm long and has a diameter of 3.00 cm. By how much does the piston move if the force applied to it is increased by 1500 N when the bulk modulus of the oil is 1.50 Ćā 10^9 N/m^2?
