Application +4 | -1

An increase in pressure of

100 \,\mathrm{kPa}

causes a certain volume of water to decrease to

5 \times 10^{-3}

percent of its original volume. The speed of sound (compressional waves) in water is close to

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

1400 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}

Option C (

1400 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}

) is correct because it is the approximate speed of sound in water, calculated using the bulk modulus and density of water.
