Question

Transcribed Image Text:1. Some geophysical (dynamic) tests were performed in the field on a rock layer,
and the velocity of primary and shear waves were measured (as shown in
following table):
Velocity of shear wave Velocity of primary wave
850 m/s
900 m/s
1000 m/s
820 m/s
1060 m/s
1950 m/s
If the density of the rock is 2600 kg/m³, calculate the Young modulus and Poisson's
ratio of this rock. (
