Chapter 17, Problem 75

(choose chapter or problem)

(a) Show that, for an ideal gas, the speed of sound given by Equation 14.9 can be written vsound = 2gkT/m. (b) For diatomic gases like N2 and O2 that are the dominant constituents of air, g = 7/5. Use your result to show that, for diatomic gases, the speed of sound is about 68% of the thermal speed given by Equation 17.4
