Answer

$3.4\times10^{9}\,N/m^{2}$

Work Step by Step

$c=\sqrt {\frac{E_{v}}{\rho}}$ where $c$ is the speed of the sound, $E_{v}$ is the bulk modulus for the fluid and $\rho$ is the density of the fluid. $\implies E_{v}=c^{2}\times\rho$ $ =c^{2}\times specific\, gravity\times \rho_{water}$ $=(1500\,m/s)^{2}\times1.5\times1000\,kg/m^{3}$ $=3.4\times10^{9}\,N/m^{2}$
