For a steel rod, the Young's modulus of ...

For a steel rod, the Young's modulus of elasticity is `2.9xx10^(11)N//m^(2)`, and the density of steel is `8xx10^(3)kg//m^(3)`.What is the velocity of longitudinal waves in steel?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, `y=2.9xx10^(11)N//m^(2),`
`rho=8xx10^(3)kg//m^(3),v=?`
`v=sqrt((Y)/(rho))=sqrt((2.9xx10^(11))/(8xx10^(3)))=6.02xx10^(3)m//s`
