2. Speed of Waves in Solids, Liquids, and Strings

v = √(η/ρ)

v = √(T/m)

v = √(stress/density)

v = √[(B + (4/3)η)/ρ]

v = √(Y/ρ)

3. Newton's Formula and Laplace's Correction

v = √(P/ρ)

v = √(γP/ρ)

γ = Cp/Cv

v = √(γRT/M)

v_t = v0(1 + t/(2×273)) = (331 + 0.61t) m/s

4. Effect of Pressure, Temperature, Humidity, Wind, and Frequency

v = √(γP/ρ)

P/ρ = RT/M

v = (v + w cos θ)
