Consider a fluid in a container. Let the density of the fluid at the surface and at depth $H$ be $\rho_0$ and $\rho$ respectively. The bulk modulus of the fluid is $B_0$. If $\rho = \frac{\rho_0}{1 - \frac{\rho g H}{B_0}}$, find the constant $\alpha$ in the expression $\rho = \frac{\rho_0}{1 + \alpha \rho g H}$ (Assume $\frac{\rho - \rho_0}{\rho_0} \ll 1$).

  • A
    $B_0$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{B_0}$
  • C
    $-B_0$
  • D
    $\frac{-1}{B_0}$
