A solid sphere of radius r made of a soft material of bulk modulus K is surrounded by a liquid in a
cylindrical container. A massless piston of area a floats on the surface of the liquid, covering entire cross
section of cylindrical container. When a mass m is placed on the surface of the piston to compress the
liquid, the fractional decrement in the radius of the sphere, is:
