Chapter 16: Q. 28 (page 452)

The density of mercury is 13,600 kg/m3 . What is the speed of sound in mercury at 20掳C?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The speed of sound in mercury at20掳Cis1448m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The density of mercury is 蚁=13,600kg/m3

TemperatureT=20掳C

02

Speed of sound in mercury

Bulk modulus of mercury at 20掳Cis B=2.85脳1010Pa.

The speed of sound in mercury at the given temperature is

vsound=B蚁=2.85脳101013,600鈮�1448m/s

Therefore, the speed of sound in mercury at20掳Cis1448m/s.
