Question

In the context of the speed of sound in a medium, what does 'B' represent in the formula v = √(B/ρ)?
Options
A Boltzmann constant
B Bulk modulus of elasticity
Correct Answer
C Bearing capacity
D Buoyancy force
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

As stated in the document, for the velocity of a longitudinal pulse in a medium, v = √(B/ρ), where B is the bulk modulus of elasticity. The bulk modulus is a measure of the substance's resistance to compression.

Hint

Refer to the section on 'Speed of Sound' and the formula v = √(B/ρ).
