Velocity of compression waves

Input(s)

$\mathrm{K}$: Bulk Modulus $(\mathrm{Pa})$

G: Shear Modulus $(\mathrm{Pa})$

$\rho$: Density $\left(\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right)$

Output(s)

$V_{p}$: Velocity of Compression Waves $(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s})$

Formula(s)

$$ \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{p}}=\left(\left(\mathrm{K}+\frac{4}{3}\right) * \frac{\mathrm{G}}{\rho}\right)^{0.5} $$
