Speed of sound
A physics student is asked to determine the length of a  long slender cooper rod by measuring the time required for the sound pulse to travel the length of the rod. The young s modulus of cooper is 1.1  x  10^11 N/m^2 and its density is 8890 kg/m^3. The student finds that the time for the pulse to travel from one end to the other is 1.56 X 10^-3 s. How long is the rod.
(a) 0.18 m
(b) 1.2 m
(c) 5.5 m
(d) 19 m
(e) 31 m
