Answer:
Explanation:
Using Boyles law
Boyle's law states that, the volume of a given gas is inversely proportional to it's pressure, provided that temperature is constant
V ∝ 1 / P
V = k / P
VP = k
Then,
V_1 • P_1 = V_2 • P_2
So, if we want an increase in pressure that will decrease volume of mercury by 0.001%
Then, let initial volume be V_1 = V
New volume is V_2 = 0.001% of V
V_2 = 0.00001•V
Let initial pressure be P_1 = P
So,
Using the equation above
V_1•P_1 = V_2•P_2
V × P = 0.00001•V × P_2
Make P_2 subject of formula by dividing be 0.00001•V
P_2 = V × P / 0.00001 × V
Then,
P_2 = 100000 P
So, the new pressure has to be 10^5 times of the old pressure
Now, using bulk modulus
Bulk modulus of mercury=2.8x10¹⁰N/m²
bulk modulus = P/(-∆V/V)
-∆V = 0.001% of V
-∆V = 0.00001•V
-∆V = 10^-5•V
-∆V/V = 10^-5
Them,
Bulk modulus = P / (-∆V/V)
2.8 × 10^10 = P / 10^-5
P = 2.8 × 10^10 × 10^-5
P = 2.8 × 10^5 N/m²
A few people criticized Darwin for his theory, such as the left-leaning biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Richard Lewontin, who fear the political implications of Darwinian theory. They fear that evolutionary theory, even when bolstered by modern genetics, and molecular biology, does not make reality probable enough.
