We study the bulk properties of d-wave superconductors relevant to hig
h-T-c copper oxides within weak-coupling theory. The superfluid densit
y, the tunneling conductance, and the frequency-dependent electric con
ductivity appear to be quite consistent with some of the experimental
data from single crystals of YBa2Cu3O7 and Bi2Sr2CaCuO8. We also predi
ct strong anisotropy in the ultrasonic attenuation when a sound wave i
s propagated within the a-b plane.
