Calculate the velocity of sound in a solid.
The speed of sound in a solid is calculated from the solid density and bulk modulus.
`a = √(K / ρ) `
where :
a = speed of sound K = bulk modulus ρ = density
The bulk modulus can be calculated from the elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio, or from the speed of sound in the solid.
`K = a^2 ρ ``K = E / (3 (1 - 2 γ )) `
E = elastic modulus γ = Poisson ratio
