Answer the following. (1) In a liquid with density 1300 kg m−31300\,\text{kg m}^{-3}, longitudinal waves with frequency 400 Hz400\,\text{Hz} are found to have wavelength 8.00 m8.00\,\text{m}. Calculate the bulk modulus of the liquid. (2) A metal bar with a length of 1.50 m1.50\,\text{m} has density 6400 kg m−36400\,\text{kg m}^{-3}. Longitudinal sound waves take 3.90×10−4 s3.90\times10^{-4}\,\text{s} to travel from one end of the bar to the other. What is Young's modulus for this metal?
