A model-independent reconstruction of mechanical profiles (density, pressure)of the solar interior is outlined using the adiabatic sound speed and bouyancyfrequency profiles. These can be inferred from helioseismology if both p- andg-mode frequencies are measured. A simulated reconstruction is presented usinga solar model bouyancy frequency and available sound speed data.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, uses AASTeX; revised for publication; accepted by Astrophysical Journa
