2. Find Vs using form any formula given below with the help of Vp
(Castagna’s method)
Sands Vs =+0.804Vp +0.856,
Limestone Vs = −0.055(V p)2 +1.017Vp −1.030,
Dolomite Vs =+0.583Vp − 0.078,
Shale Vs =+0.770Vp − 0.867
Velocities are in km/sec
3. Hans method based on UV in lab (1986)
Sandstone VS = 0.794VP _ 0.787 (km/s)
4. Find Rock module
a. Shear Modulus
μ = Vs2 * ρ (units GP)
μ = Vs2 * ρ * 109 Pascal = Vs2 * ρ (GP)
1 GP = 109

Units:
Units of rock module are Pascal. MP, GP
Pascal is unit of Pressure
