Homework Statement


One cubic metre of water is placed under an absolute pressure of 7000 kPa. Calculate the volume at this pressure.


Homework Equations


E = - dp / (dV/V)


The Attempt at a Solution



The answer is .99682 but I do not know how to get it. I believe that it has to do with Compressibility and Elasticity.

Hint:

Solve the differential equation you have (relevant equation). E is the bulk modulus which is 2.2 gigaPa.
