The correct Answer is:
To find the speed of sound in water using the given bulk modulus and density, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the formula The speed of sound \( v \) in a medium is given by the formula: \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{B}{\rho}} \] where: - \( B \) is the bulk modulus of the medium, - \( \rho \) is the density of the medium. ### Step 2: Convert the bulk modulus to standard units The bulk modulus of water is given as \( 2100 \, \text{MPa} \). We need to convert this to Pascals (Pa): \[ B = 2100 \, \text{MPa} = 2100 \times 10^6 \, \text{Pa} = 2.1 \times 10^9 \, \text{Pa} \] ### Step 3: Use the density of water The density of water is given as: \[ \rho = 1000 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \] ### Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula Now we can substitute the values of \( B \) and \( \rho \) into the formula for the speed of sound: \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{2.1 \times 10^9}{1000}} \] ### Step 5: Simplify the expression Calculating the fraction: \[ \frac{2.1 \times 10^9}{1000} = 2.1 \times 10^6 \] Now, we take the square root: \[ v = \sqrt{2.1 \times 10^6} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the square root We can separate the square root: \[ v = \sqrt{2.1} \times \sqrt{10^6} = \sqrt{2.1} \times 1000 \] Calculating \( \sqrt{2.1} \): \[ \sqrt{2.1} \approx 1.45 \] Thus, \[ v \approx 1.45 \times 1000 = 1450 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Final Answer The speed of sound in water is approximately: \[ \boxed{1450 \, \text{m/s}} \]

To find the speed of sound in water using the given bulk modulus and density, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the formula The speed of sound \( v \) in a medium is given by the formula: \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{B}{\rho}} \] where: ...
