The table below gives the three elastic moduli for several materials. According to (16.100) Young's modulus for any given material can be calculated if we know the bulk and shear moduli. Using the data for BM and SM, calculate YM for each of the materials and compare with the given values in the third column. (The densities will be needed for Problem 16.32.)
Problem 16.32
[Computer] Using appropriate software, calculate the speeds of longitudinal and transverse waves in the five materials listed in Problem 16.26. Arrange for the software to give you a nice readable table of values.
