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.)

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).
