SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the volume of one cubic metre of water under an absolute pressure of 7000 kPa using the bulk modulus of elasticity. The relevant equation is E = - dp / (dV/V), where E represents the bulk modulus, which is specified as 2.2 GPa. The calculated volume at this pressure is 0.99682 cubic metres, indicating the compressibility of water under high pressure.
