For an ideal liquid

a) the bulk modulus is infinite

b) the bulk modulus is zero

c) the shear modulus is infinite

d) the shear modulus is zero

Answers (1)

The answer is the option (a) and (d).

A property of an ideal liquid is that it is not compressible. (K)Bulk modulus = \frac{-p(V)}{\Delta V}

\Delta V = 0 and K = infinite for an ideal liquid.

No tangential forces act on this liquid, the shearing strain Δθ =0 and F =0

n = \frac{\frac{F}{A}}{\Delta \theta} = \frac{0}{0} = indeterminate

hence a and d are true.
