A human wave. During sporting events within large, densely
Chapter , Problem 2(choose chapter or problem)
A human wave. During sporting events within large, densely packed stadiums, spectators will send a wave (or pulse) around the stadium (Fig. 16-29). As the wave reaches a group of spectators, they stand with a cheer and then sit. At any instant, the width w of the wave is the distance from the leading edge (people are just about to stand) to the trailing edge (people have just sat down). Suppose a human wave travels a distance of 853 seats around a stadium in 39 s, with spectators requiring about 1.8 s to respond to the waves passage by standing and then sitting.What are (a) the wave speed v (in seats per second) and (b) width w (in number of seats)?
