The Speed of Sound in a Fluid Can Be Calculated v=Bρv = \sqrt { \frac { B } { \rho } }

Question 2

Short Answer

The speed of sound in a fluid can be calculated using the following equation: v=Bρv = \sqrt { \frac { B } { \rho } }
where
v= speed of sound in m/sB= bulk modulus \begin{array} { l } v = \text { speed of sound in } \mathrm { m } / \mathrm { s } \\B = \text { bulk modulus }\end{array} ρ= fluid density in kg/m3\rho = \text { fluid density in } \mathrm { kg } / \mathrm { m } ^ { 3 } What is the appropriate unit for B if the preceding equation is to be homogeneous in units? a. m/sm / \mathrm { s }

b. kgms2\frac { \mathrm { kg } } { \mathrm { m } \cdot \mathrm { s } ^ { 2 } }

c. m\mathrm { m }

d. ss
