s a meas-ure of the isotropic strain. 99. Bulk modulus of a substance. The diminution of volume of a substance per unit of original volume (v/V) is proportionalto the increase of hydrostatic pressure, except, of course, whenthe increase of pressure is very great and the decrease of… … Fig. B =- = v ($i)a in which V is the volume of a substance at a given pressure, v isthe decrease of volume due to an increase of pressure p, and Bis a constant for the given substance. This quantity B is calledthe bulk modulus of the substance. The reciprocal of B is called *This principle may be…
