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.

Explanation

To compute the bulk modulus of water from the given data, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Convert the initial and final volumes to cubic meters
- The initial volume \( V_1 \) is given as 100.0 liters. We convert this to cubic meters:
\[ V_1 = 100.0 \, \text{liters} = 100.0 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m}^3 = 0.1 \, \text{m}^3 \]
