Compute the bulk modulus of water from the following data : initial volume = 100.0 litre, pressure increase = 100.0 atmosphere. Final volume - 100.5 litre . (1 atmosphere = `1.013 xx 10^(5) Pa)`. Compare the bulk modulus of water that of air (at constant temperature). explain in simple terms why the ratio is so large.

Answer

`2.026xx10^(9)` Pa
