Question:

If v stands for velocity of sound, E is elasticity and d the density, then find x in the equation v = $\left(\frac{d}{E}\right)^x$

Options:

1

$\frac{1}{2}$ 

2

$-\frac{1}{2}$ 

Correct Answer:

$-\frac{1}{2}$ 

Explanation:

V = $\left(\frac{d}{E}\right)^x$

$LT^{-1}=\frac{(ML^{-3})^x}{(MLT^{-2}/L^2)^x}$

LT-1 = L-3x+x T2x

-1 = 2x

x = $-\frac{1}{2}$
