If the observed speed of sound in steel is 5300 m/s,

Chapter 11, Problem 11.16

(choose chapter or problem)

If the observed speed of sound in steel is 5300 m/s, determine the bulk modulus of elasticity of steel in \(\mathrm{N/m^3}\). The density of steel is nominally \(\mathrm{7790 ~kg/m^3 }\). How does your value of \(E_v\) for steel compare with for water at \(\mathrm{15.6~^\circ C}\)? Compare the speeds of sound in steel, water, and air at standard atmospheric pressure and \(\mathrm{15~^\circ C}\) and comment on what you observe.
