The Speed of Sound

The speed of sound varies depending on the medium through which it travels. In general, sound travels fastest in rigid media, such as steel, slower in liquid media, such as water, and slowest of all in gases, such as air. The following table shows the approximate speed of sound, measured in feet per second, in air, water, and steel.

Write a program that displays a menu allowing the user to select air, water, or steel. After the user has made a selection, the number of feet a sound wave will travel in the selected medium should be entered. The program will then display the amount of time it will take. (Round the answer to four decimal places.)

Input Validation: Decide how the program should handle an illegal input for the menu choice or a negative value for the distance.
