c=sqrt(K/rou),here cf is the speed of sound, K is the bulk modulus, rou is the density. so if we know the density of ocean water and sound speed, we can get K = c^2*rou=1500^2*1024 = 2.304*10^9 (N/m^2)

What is bulk moduls?
The bulk modulus is a factor in the speed of seismic waves from earthquakes. A common statement is that water is an incompressible fluid. This is not strictly true, as indicated by its finite bulk modulus, but the amount of compression is very small.
Bulk modulus of sulfuric acid?
The bulk modulus of a fluid is the measure of its compressibility. In SI units, the bulk modulus of sulfuric acid is 3.0 Newtons per square meter.
What are the different types of modulus elasticity?
there are different types of modulus it depends on what types of stress is acting on the material if its direct stress then then there is modulus of elasticity,if tis shear stress then its modulus of rigidity and when its volumetric stress it is bulk modulus and so on
What is bulk modulus and shear modulus for mild steel?
shear = 77GPa
Formula for bulk modulus of volume of elasticity?
K(bulk modulus of elasticity)=-{[Pressure x volume]/change in volume}
What does water have that is greater than air which causes sound waves to travel faster in water than in air?
Bulk modulus.
Is there any rigidity modulus for fluids?
for an isotropic media you can divide the force on every element in two components. -bulk component -rigid component now bulk component is associated with bulk modulus and other is associated with modulus of rigidity(written as meu). now bulk component is the one which causes the matter to get compressed and the rigid component only changes the shape of the volume. now, water do not get compressed, it is incompressible and that's why the the force on it is affected by only the rigid component. thats why the modulus of rigidity is zero.
What is Young's modulus and poisons ratio of a liquid?
Liquids are not defined by elastic modulus, but rather by bulk modulus, which for water is about 2200 MPa (320,000 psi). It is nearly incompressible, with a Poisson ratio close to, but not quite,0.5
What is the modulus of elasticity of water?
Pure de-aired water has a bulk modulus equal to approximately 2.2 GPa. There is a common misconception that fluids are totally incompressible, however as can be seen from the above this is not true (if it were, the bulk modulus would be infinitely high). It is reasonable to state that water is highly resistant to compression however. It should also be noted that the presence of dissolved gasses in water can significantly reduce this value so consider carefully the application or system being modelled before choosing an elastic modulus for water or any other fluid.
What is the dimension of bulk modulus?
ml1- t-2
Derivation of the relation between young's modulus and bulk modulus?
E=3k(1-2/m)
How does the speed of sound in tap water compare with the speed of sound in pure water?
For a liquid, we find that the speed of sound decreaseswith increasing density but increases with increasing bulk modulus. Increasing the dissolved solids will increase density, but also bulk modulus. In general, bulk modulus will increase "faster" with an increase in dissolved solids than density will increase. And this translates into a net increase in the speed of sound in water with increasing dissolved solids. Tap water has dissolved solids, so the speed of sound in tap water should be higher than it is in pure water at the same temperature and pressure.
