what is the formula for the speed of sound in water?

Sound is a type of longitudinal, mechanical wave. They need a medium to propagate and will not travel through a vacuum. Sound travels at different speed in different media. The speed of sound is determined by the density (ρ) and compressibility (β) of the medium. Density is the amount of material in a given volume, and compressibility is a meaasure of how much a substance could be compacted for a given pressure. The denser and the more compressible, the faster the sound waves would travel. Therefore, the speed of sound is about four times faster in water than in air. The speed of sound in a medium can be determined by the equation  …\n\nv = (βρ)-1/2\n\nWhere …\n\nv is the speed of sound,\nβ is the bulk modulus of elasticity, and\nρ (rho) is the density.\n\nThe speed of sound can also be affected by temperature. Sound waves tend to travel faster at higher temperatures. I have found different values for the speed of sound in water in different sources. They range from 1450 to 1498 meters per second in distilled water and 1531 m/s in sea water at room temperatures (20 to 25 °C).

Let \nQ = volume flow rate in Litre/sec, \nD = diameter of the nozzle in cm and \nV = velocity of water in metre/sec. \n\nThen,  V = (40*Q)/ [pi*(D^2)]\n\nwhere pi = 3.14

The answer depends upon what sort of wave you are talking about and the medium it is travelling. Say for example if it is a light wave through vacuum, then \n\nWavelength = (2.99875 X 10^8) / Frequency.\n\nIf the same is sound through air at 60% humidity and at sea level, then\n\nWavelength = (340) / Frequency.\n\nIf it is a sound wave through water (4 degrees celsius), then\n\nWavelength = (1440) / Frequency.\n\nThe value inside the bracket is the speed of the wave in the respective medium under respective conditions.

since the humidity is low, It is reasonable to neglect the humidity factor since the T is same the speed of sound can also taken as constant.\nspeed = distance by time\ntherefore time = 400 / 343 s.\n               = 1.16610875801749 s.

I don't quite understand your notation, but here is how I would do this:\nThe general equation is y(x,t) = A sin 2 pi (t/T - x/L), where\nA = amplitude = 0.12 m\nL = wavelength = 0.3 m\nT = period\nThe latter is not given, but you can get it from the wavespeed v, via the formula v=L/T. Hence T = L/V = 0.3/6.4 = 0.0469 s.\nPlug A, L and T in the general equation and compare the result to the expression given in the problem.\nLooking at your expression, I would guess \na = A = 0.12 m \nb = 1/T = 21.3 s^-1\nc = 1/L = 3.33  m^-1

You tell me, you the one doing the lab probably.\n\nOne of several possible objects could be to identify the speed of sound.  You might also be studying the nature of waves (wavelength, frequency, ...).

In air, higher temperatures result in faster sound waves.  The formula is \n\nV = Vo SQRT( 1 + T/273) , where V = speed of sound in the air, T = temperature in degrees Celsius, and Vo= speed of sound at 0 degrees Celsius = 331 m/s.

x=v(horizontal velocity of water hitting ground)*t( time of travel)\n  = sqrt(2gy) *t; from equation v^2=2gy\nt= sqrt(2h/g); from equation h=.5*g*t^2\nthere you get that equation. I did with kinematics.

This requires the use of doppler shift formula for a moving source and stationary observer:\n\nf = f0 ( v / ( v + u ) )\n\nf0 = actual frequency = 5\nv = speed of wave = 20\nu = relative velocity of source away from observer = -10\n(since travelling toward)\n\nf = observed frequency = 10 Hz\n\nNow velocity = v = fl = frequency * wavelength\n\nso wavlength l = v / f = 20 / 10 = 2m

The frequency range is generally accepted to be 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. With the speed of sound = 334 m/s, 20 Hz has a wavelength of 16.7 m, 20,000 Hz a wavelength of 16.7 mm. (Ubergeek, the answerer in your link slipped a decimal place.)

The speed of light and other EM waves (in a vacuum) is:\n299,792,458 meters per second\n\nThe speed of sound (at sea level) is:\n340.29 meters per second\n\nThe ratio is 880,991 times faster.\nThe difference is 299,792,118 m/s faster.\n\nOr the simple answer is about a million times faster.\nThe even simpler answer is *lots* faster!\n\nThis also explains why you see far away lightning long before you hear the thunder clap (except in the movies).

Sound travels at approximately 720 miles per hour. Light travels at 186,000 miles per second.

The speed of sound v in dry air at temperature T (in celsius) is given by:\n\nv = (331.4 + 0.6 T) m/s\n\nSpeed of sound depends on various factors, such as, temperature, humidity, density, etc. of the medium in which it travels.\n \nThe following links provide the speed of sound calculators and related links:

Aplly the following formula:\n\nG = w * A, where:\n\nG - flow rate [m^3/s]\nw - speed of fluid [m/s]\nA - transversal section area of the pipe [m^2]

Values of the Speed of Sound:\n\nOne of the most common questions we receive is fow fast is the speed of sound, and as was pointed out earlier, there is no single value to quote. The speed of sound, also known as Mach 1, changes throughout the atmosphere based on the temperature at any given altitude. Probably the most important value to remember, however, is the speed of sound at sea level. Based on the standard atmospheric model, this value has been defined to be\n\n    * 1,116.4 ft/s\n    * 340.3 m/s\n    * 761.2 mph\n    * 1,225.1 km/h\n    * 661.5 knots\n\nIf you were to reach Mach 1, or "break the sound barrier," at sea level, the above speed is how fast you would have to travel in order to do so.

v = wave length * f.\n\nSo, length = v / f =   1,7m
