Experimental data for density of mercury versus pressure at 20C are as follows: p, atm: 1 500

Question:

Experimental data for density of mercury versus pressure at 20°C are as follows:
p, atm: 1 500 1000 1500 2000
ρ, kg/m3: 13545 13573 13600 13625 13653
Fit this data to the empirical state relation for liquids, Eq. (1.19), to find the best values of B and n for mercury. Then, assuming the data are nearly isentropic, use these values to estimate the speed of sound of mercury at 1 atm and compare with Table 9.1.
