TABLE 92. 

 COMPRESSIBILITY OF LIQUIDS- 



107 



At the constant temperature /, the compressibility /3 = (i/Vo)(dV/dP). In general as P in- 

 creases, /3 decreases rapidly at first and then slowly; the change of /3 with / is large at low pressures 

 but very small at pressures above 1000 to 2000 megabars. i megabar = 0.987 atmosphere = io 

 dyne/cm 2 .
