Solution

The speed of sound in a medium is given by the formula:

v = sqrt(B/ρ)

where: v is the speed of sound, B is the bulk modulus of the medium, and ρ is the density of the medium.

Given: B = 2 × 10^9 N/m^2 ρ = 2000 kg/m^3

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

v = sqrt((2 × 10^9 N/m^2) / (2000 kg/m^3))

Solving this equation will give us the speed of sound in the liquid.

Let's calculate it:

v = sqrt((2 × 10^9) / 2000) v = sqrt(1 × 10^6) v = 1000 m/s

So, the speed of sound in the liquid is 1000 m/s.
