If the bulk modulus of water is 4000 MPa, what is the speed of sound in water ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`2000 ms^(-1)`
`V=sqrt((B)/(rho))=sqrt((4000xx10^(6))/(1000))=2000 m//s`

Compute the bulk modulus of water from the following data: Initial volume = 100.0 litre, Pressure increase = 100.0 atm (1 atm = 1. 013xx 10^(5) Pa), Final volume = 100.5 litre. Compare the bulk modulus of water with that of air (at constant temperature). Explain in simple terms why the ratio is so large.
