(choose chapter or problem)

The average density of Earths crust 10 km beneath the continents is 2.7 g/cm3 . The speed of longitudinal seismic waves at that depth, found by timing their arrival from distant earthquakes, is 5.4 km/s. Find the bulk modulus of Earths crust at that depth. For comparison, the bulk modulus of steel is about 16 ' 1010 Pa.
