It is possible to hear an approaching train before you can see it by listening to the sound wave through the track. If the elastic modulus is 2.0  1011 N/m2 and the density of steel is 7.8  103 kg/m3, approximately how many times faster is the speed of sound in the track than in air? (vair  340 m/s.)
 a. 20
  b. 5
  c. 10
  d. 15
  e. 25

Question 2

The Young's modulus for aluminum is 7.02  1010 N/m2 . If the speed of sound in aluminum is measured to be 5.10 km/s, find its density (in kg/m3).
 a. 11.3  103
  b. 7.80  103
  c. 2.70  103
  d. 29.3  103
