 COMPRESSIBILITY OF LIQUIDS. 



107 



At the constant temperature t, the compressibility /3 = {i/Vo)idV/dP), In general as P in- 

 creases, j8 decreases rapidly at first and then slowly; the change of (3 with t is large at low pressures 

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

 dyne/cm-.
