The incompressibility of nuclear matter {ital K}, the Coulomb coefficient {ital K}{sub {ital c}}, and the volume-symmetry coefficient {ital K}{sub vs} of the nucleus incompressibility are studied using the relativistic mean field theory. It is found that {ital K}=300{plus_minus}50 MeV is necessary to account for the empirical values of {ital K}, {ital K}{sub {ital c}}, and {ital K}{sub vs}, simultaneously, if the scaling model is valid. The result is independent of the details of the {sigma}-meson self-interaction and is almost independent of the strength of the {omega}-meson self-interaction. However, a wider range of {ital K} may be available, if deviations from the scaling model are important. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
