<span>The speed of longitudinal waves, S, in a thin rod = âšYoung modulus / density , where Y is in N/m^2.
So, S = âšYoung modulus/ density. Squaring both sides, we have, S^2 = Young Modulus/ density.
So, Young Modulus = S^2 * density; where S is the speed of the longitudinal wave.
Then Substiting into the eqn we have (5.1 *10^3)^2 * 2.7 * 10^3 = 26.01 * 10^6 * 2.7 *10^6 = 26.01 * 2.7 * 10^ (6+3) = 70.227 * 10 ^9</span>
