Problem 94GP Hearing a Good Hit Physicist Robert Adair, once appointed the “official physicist to the National League” by the commissioner of baseball, believes that the “crack of the bat” can tell an outfielder how well the ball has been hit. According to Adah”, a good hit makes a sound of 510 Hz, while a poor hit produces a sound of 170 Hz. What is the difference in wavelength of these sounds?

Problem 93GP The Loudest Animal The loudest sound produced by a living organism on Earth is made by the bowhead whale (Balaam mysticetus). These whales can produce a sound that, if heard in air at a distance of 3.00 m, would have an intensity level of 127 dB. This is roughly the equivalent of 5000 trumpeting elephants. How far away can you be from a 127-dB sound and still just barely hear it?(Assume a point source, and ignore reflections and absorption.)

Problem 95GP A standing wave of 603 Hz is produced on a string that is 1.33 m long and fixed on both ends. If the speed of waves on this string is 402 m/s, how many antinodes are there in the standing wave?

Problem 96GP Measuring Hearing Loss To determine the amount of temporary hearing loss load music can cause in humans, researchers studied a group of 20 adult females who were exposed to 110-dB music far 60 minutes. Eleven of the 20 subjects showed a 20.0-dB reduction in hearing sensitivity at 4000 Hz, What is the intensity corresponding to the threshold of hearing for these subjects?

Problem 97GP Hearing a Pin Drop The ability to hear a “pin drop” is the sign of sensitive hearing. Suppose a 0,55-g pin is dropped from a height of 28 cm, and that the pin emits sound for 1.5 s when it lands. Assuming all of the mechanical energy of the pin is converted to sound energy, and that the sound radiates uniformly in all directions, find the maximum distance from which a person can hear the pin drop. (This is the ideal maximum distance, but atmospheric absorption and other factors will make the actual maximum distance considerably smaller.)

Problem 98GP A machine shop has 120 equally noisy machines that together produce an intensity level of 92 dB. If the intensity level must be reduced to 82 dB, how many machines must be turned off?

Problem 100GP Speed of a Tsunami Tsunamis can have wavelengths between 100 and 400 km. Since this is much greater than the average depth of the oceans (about 4.3 km), the ocean can be considered as shallow water for these waves. Using the speed of waves in shallow water of depth d given in Problem, find the typical speed for a tsunami. (Note: In the open ocean, tsunamis generally have an amplitude of less than a meter, allowing them to pass ships unnoticed. As they approach shore, however, the water depth decreases and the waves slow down. This can reIsuit in an increase of amplitude to as much as 37 m or more.)

(Assume that the speed of sound in helium is three times that in air.)

Problem 101GP Two trains with 124-Hz horns approach one another. The slower of the two trams has a speed of 26 m/s. What is the speed of the fast train if an observer standing near the tracks between the trains hears a beat frequency of 4.4 Hz?

Two ships in a heavy fog are blowing their horns, both of which produce sound with a frequency of 175.0 Hz (Figure 14–42). One ship is at rest; the other moves on a straight line that passes through the one at rest. If people on the stationary ship hear a beat frequency of 3.5 Hz, what are the two possible speeds and directions of motion of the moving ship? ________________ Equation Transcription: Text Transcription: v=0 v=?

(c) Calculate the frequency Jim hears in the echo from the cliff.

Problem 106GP A Slinky has a mass of 0.28 kg and negligible length. When it is stretched 1.5 m, it is found that transverse waves travel the length of the Slinky in 0.75 s. (a) What is the force constant, k, of the Slinky? (b) If the Slinky is stretched farther, will the time required for a wave to travel the length of the Slinky increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain, (c) If the Slinky is stretched 3.0 m, how much time does it take a wave to travel the length of the Slinky? (The Slinky stretches like an ideal spring, and propagates transverse waves like a rope with variable tension.)

The diameter is D and the length is L. (b) The diameter of the string is increased by a factor of 3. The tension is T and the length is L. (c) The length of the string is halved. The tension is T and the diameter is D.

Problem 104GP Cracking Your Knuckles When you “crack” a knuckle, you cause the knuckle cavity to widen rapidly. This, in turn, allows the synovial fluid to expand into a larger volume. If this expansion is sufficiently rapid, it causes a gas bubble to form in the fluid in a process known as cavitation. This is the mechanism responsible for the cracking sound. (Cavitation can also cause pits in rapidly rotating ship’s propellers.) If a “crack” produces a sound with an intensity level of 57 dB at your ear, which is 18 cm from the knuckle, how far from your knuckle can the “crack” be heard? Assume the sound propagates uniformly in all directions, with no reflections or absorption.

Problem 107GP OSHA Noise Standards OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, has established standards for workplace exposure to noise. According to OSHA’s Hearing Conservation Standard, the permissible noise exposure per day is 95.0 dB for 4 hours or 105 dB for 1 hour. Assuming the eardrum is 9.5 mm in diameter, find the energy absorbed by the eardrum (a) with 95.0 dB for 4 hours and (b) with 105 dB for 1 hour, (c) Is OSHA’s safety standard simply a measure of the amount of energy absorbed by the ear?
