Chapter 1, Problem 1.22P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The percentage decrease in the volume of water when subjected to the change in pressure is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The relationship for the change in pressure and change in volume for a fluid is written as:

  β=ΔPΔV/V ......... (1)

Here, β is the modulus of elasticity or bulk modulus. It is a property related to fluids that characterizes their compressibility. ΔP is the change in pressure applied on the fluid, ΔV is the change in volume of the fluid when subjected to the pressure change, and V is the original volume of the fluid.
