A person with their head sideways in the water sees a beaver slap its tail on the lake surface 1.2 km away. What is the time difference between the sound heard in the ear listening in the air and the ear hearing the sound transmitted though the water? The speed of sound in water is 1480 m/s and the air temperature is 30 degrees C.

- A cylinder completely filled with an unknown liquid has a radius of 1.50 cm, a length of 64.0 cm, and a mass of 357 g. An engineer performs an experiment to measure the speed of sound in the liquid. A small speaker emits a sound pulse at one end of the cylinder, which travels through the liquid and is detected by a microphone attached at the other end. The elapsed time between emission of the sound pulse and its detection by the microphone is measured by an electronic circuit to be 5.90 x 10-4 s. What the bulk modulus (in Pa) of the liquid in the cylinder? 3714 x What is the speed of sound in the material? How is it related to the bulk modulus and density of the material?
