Two atmospheric sound sources emit isotropically at constant power. The sound levels of their emissions are plotted in Figure versus the radial distance from the sources . The vertical axis scale is set by and .
What are (a) the ratio of the larger power to the smaller power and
(b) the sound level difference at ?

A jet plane passes over you at a height of and a speed of Mach 1.5.
(a) Find the Mach cone angle (the sound speed is ).
(b) How long after the jet passes directly overhead does the shock wave reach you?
A 2000Hzsiren and a civil defense official are both at rest with respect to the ground. What frequency does the official hear if the wind is blowing at 12m/s.(a) from source to official and (b) from official to source?
In Fig. 6-49, arock climber is climbing a 鈥渃himney.鈥 The coefficient of static friction between her shoes and the rock is 1.2; between her back and the rock is 0.80. She has reduced her push against the rock until her back, and her shoes are on the verge of slipping.
(a) Draw a free-body diagram of her.
(b) What is the magnitude of her push against the rock?
(c) What fraction of her weight is supported by the frictional force on her shoes?

A sound source sends a sinusoidal sound wave of angular frequency and amplitude through a tube of air. The internal radius of the tube is .
(a) What is the average rate at which energy (the sum of the kinetic and potential energies) is transported to the opposite end of the tube?
(b) If, simultaneously, an identical wave travels along an adjacent, identical tube, what is the total average rate at which energy is transported to the opposite ends of the two tubes by the waves? If, instead, those two waves are sent along the same tube simultaneously, what is the total average rate at which they transport energy when their phase difference is
