Sample problem 1:

• Estimate the speed of sound in a solid such as steel (p=8000 kg/m^3)


which has an elastic modulus of 200x10^9N/m^2.
Sample problem 2:

• Estimate the speed of sound in a liquid such as water (p=1000 kg/m^3)


which has a bulk modulus of 2.18x10^9N/m^2.
Sample problem 3:
• Calculate the speed of sound in air at 20 degrees Celsius. The ratio of heat
capacities is 1.4. Air is consist of 78% N2 (28.02g/mol), 21% O2 (32
g/mol) and 1% Ar (40g/mol). What is the speed of sound at 25 degrees
Celsius?
