- The bulk modulus of water is 2.2 109 Pa (Table 15.2). The density of water is 103 kg/m3 (Table 15.1). Find the speed of sound in water and compare your answer with the value given in Table 17.1.arrow_forwardTable 17.1 shows the speed of sound is typically an order of magnitude larger in solids than in gases. To what can this higher value be most directly attributed?
