what is the density of air?
For a gas at pressure P, the Bulk modulus B (under adiabatic conditions of change) is g · P. At a certain temperature, at normal atmospheric pressure, the velocity of sound in air is found to be 339.5 m/s. If g for air is 1.40, what is the density of air (in kg/m3) at that temperature ?
2. The attempt at a solution
Given wavelength, and v, then I found f:
f = v / wavelength = 242.5 Hz.
I know that:
B = v^2 * p
and B = wavelength * P
=> v^2 * p = wavelength * P
but how to find P?
I need it in couple of hours. Please advise!
Thanks a lot!
