 COMPRESSIBILITY OF LIQUIDS 



At the constant temperature t, the compressibility /3 = (i/To) (dV/dP). In general as P 

 increases, (3 decreases rapidly at first and then slowly ; the change of /3 with r is large at low 

 pressures but very small at pressures above iooo to 2000 megabaryes. 1 megabarye 

 = io e dynes/cm 2 = 1.020 kg/cm 2 = 0.987 atmosphere.
