Choose the wrong statement

• The bulk modulus for solids is much larger than for liquids

• Gases are least compressible

• The incompressibility of the solids is due to the tight coupling between neighbouring atoms

• The reciprocal of the bulk modulus is called compressibility

Identify the incorrect statement.

• Young's modulus and shear modulus are relevant only for solids.

• Bulk modulus is relevant for solids, liquids and gases.

• Alloys have larger values of Young's modulus than metals.

• Metals have larger values of Young's modulus than elastomers

A lead bullet strikes against a steel plate with a velocity 200 ms^-1. If the impact is perfectly inelastic and the heat produced is equally shared between the bullet and the target, then the rise in temperature of the bullet is (Specific heat capacity of lead = 125 J Kg^-1 K^-1)
