Elasticity in colloids (gels, jellies)

I have a question on finding elasticity of colloids.

I am using Ultrasonics testing on testing the different elasticity of gelatine with different concentrations of additives, ie, salt, sugar.

From the ultrasonics data, I calculated the attenuation coefficient and the velocity (speed of sound) of the gelatine.

there is an equation related to the modulus of elasticity:

V= sqrt (C/P)

where V is the speed of sound, C is the elastic constant and p is the density.

however, I don't know the denisty of the sample I tested. So, is there other ways to calcuate the density with the attenuation coef and velocity? or is there another formula that can solve my problem?

Please help...:(
