Glycerine has density 1.26×103 kg m−31.26\times10^{3}\,\text{kg\,m}^{-3}. Its bulk modulus is 4.5×109 Pa4.5\times10^{9}\,\text{Pa}, while a data sheet lists a “Young’s modulus” of 3.3×108 Pa3.3\times10^{8}\,\text{Pa}. Determine the speed of sound in glycerine and specify which of the two given moduli you have used.
