The Bulk moduli of Ethanol, Mercury and water are given as $\displaystyle 0.9$, $\displaystyle 25$ and $\displaystyle 2.2$ respectively in units of $\displaystyle 10^9 \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}$. For a given value of pressure, the fractional compression in volume is $\displaystyle \frac{\Delta \mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{V}}$. Which of the following statements about $\displaystyle \frac{\Delta \mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{V}}$ for these three liquids is correct ?
Official answer
(1)
Ethanol > Water > Mercury
