For an ideal liquid

An ideal liquid is non – compressible in nature which means its compressibility is zero. Now, bulk modulus is the reciprocal of compressibility thus, it will be infinity for an ideal liquid.

Shear modulus is the ratio of shear stress (which arises due to tangential force) and shear strain. A liquid cannot sustain tangential force; thus, shear modulus will be zero for it.

A wire is suspended from the ceiling and stretched under the action of a weight F suspended from its other end. The force exerted by the ceiling on it is equal and opposite to the weight.

A rod of length l and negligible mass is suspended at its two ends by two wires of steel (wire A) and aluminium (wire B) of equal lengths (Fig. 9.4). The cross-sectional areas of wires A and B are 1.0 mm2 and 2.0 mm2, respectively

(YAI = 70 X 109 Nm-2 and Ysteel = 200 X 109 Nm-2)

A copper and a steel wire of the same diameter are connected end to end. A deforming force F is applied to this composite wire which causes a total elongation of 1cm. The two wires will have
