Pressure Wave Velocity in Fluids Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Velocity of pressure wave = sqrt(Bulk Modulus/Mass Density)
C = sqrt(K/ρ)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Velocity of pressure wave - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Velocity of pressure wave is the velocity at which the pressure wave moves in the fluid and is also referred to as the velocity of sound.
Bulk Modulus - (Measured in Pascal) - The Bulk Modulus is defined as the ratio of the infinitesimal pressure increase to the resulting relative decrease of the volume.
Mass Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - The Mass Density of a substance is its mass per unit volume.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Bulk Modulus: 2000 Pascal --> 2000 Pascal No Conversion Required
Mass Density: 997 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 997 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C = sqrt(K/ρ) --> sqrt(2000/997)

Evaluating ... ...

C = 1.41633966765126

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.41633966765126 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.41633966765126 ≈ 1.41634 Meter per Second <-- Velocity of pressure wave

Center of Pressure on Inclined Plane

Go Center of Pressure = Depth of Centroid+(Moment of Inertia*sin(Angle)*sin(Angle))/(Wet Surface Area*Depth of Centroid)

Center of Pressure

Go Center of Pressure = Depth of Centroid+Moment of Inertia/(Wet Surface Area*Depth of Centroid)

Differential Pressure between Two Points

Go Pressure Changes = Specific Weight 1*Height of Column 1-Specific weight 2*Height of Column 2

Absolute Pressure at Height h

Go Absolute pressure = Atmospheric Pressure+Specific weight of liquids*Height Absolute
