The normal density of a material is $\rho$ and its bulk modulus of elasticity is $K$. The magnitude of increase in density of the material,when a pressure $P$ is applied uniformly on all sides,will be

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 $\frac{\rho - \rho_0}{\rho_0} \ll 1$).
