Answer:
v = 337.04m/s
Explanation:
In order to calculate the speed of sound for the case of a carbon monoxide medium, you use the following formula:
[tex]v=\sqrt{\frac{\beta}{\rho}}[/tex] (1)
v: speed of sound
β: bulk modulus = 1.412*10^5 Pa
ρ: density of the column of carbon monoxide = 1.25 kg/m^3
You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1):
[tex]v=\sqrt{\frac{1.42*10^5Pa}{1.25kg/m^3}}=337.04\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
The speed of the sound in the column of carbon monoxide is 337.04 m/s
