    Speed of sound in mercury at a certain temperature is 1450 m/s. Given the density of mercury as 13.6  ´ 103 kg / m3, the bulk modulus for mercury is                           [JIPMER 2000]

    A)            2.86 ´1010 N/m3                  

    B)            3.86 ´1010 N/m3

    C)            4.86 ´1010 N/m3                  

    D)            5.86 ´1010 N/m3

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[v=\sqrt{\frac{K}{\rho }}\] \ \[K={{v}^{2}}\rho =2.86\times {{10}^{10}}N/{{m}^{3}}\]
