Speed of sound through Ice

Question

What is the speed of sound through ice? (B_ice = 8.8 x 10⁹ Pa, ρ_{ice = 920 kg m}^-3)

Answer 1

The density of ice is given as 920 kilograms per cubic meter.

The bulk modulus of ice is given as 8.8×10⁹ newtons per square meter.

The shear modulus of ice is given as 3.8×10⁹ newtons per square meter.

It can be shown that the speed of sound through ice is given by √[(bulk modulus plus 1.333333333 times shear modulus) divided by density] or √[(8.8E9+4×3.8E9/3)÷920] which reduces to 3882.327108 meters per second.
