Speed of sound in mercury at a certain t...

Speed of sound in mercury at a certain temperature is 1450 m/s . Given the density of mercury as `13.6 xx 10^(3) kg//m`, the bulk modulus for mercury is

A

`2.86xx10^(10)N//m^(2)`

B

`3.86xx10^(10)N//m^(2)`

C

`4.86xx10^(10)N//m^(2)`

D

`5.86xx10^(10)N//m^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`v=sqrt((B)/(rho))`
`implies B=v^(2)rho=(1450)^(2)xx13.6xx10^(3)`
`impliesB=2.86xx10^(10)N//m^(2)`.
