Bulk Modulus

#Physics

$\displaystyle K=B=-V\frac{\mathrm{d}P }{ \mathrm{d}V}$

  • The resistance to bulk compression (uniform compression from all directions)
    • Liquids only have this type of modulus
  • $\displaystyle V$ is the initial volume of the substance
  • $\displaystyle P$ is the pressure
