2. kN/m
3. kN/m?
4. m?7/kN
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Option 4: m2/kN
Detalled Solution
Explanation:
‘The coefficient of volume compre:
stress.
lity is defined as the ratio of unit volume change per tit increase in effective_
m= 4D = -Gb oO“
a =
From the formula, it is clear that the coefficient of volume cor Proportional to stress, so it has a
unit of m?/KN ( inverse of stress unit ). XS
