Chapter 16: Q. 28 (page 452)

The density of mercury is 13,600 kg/m3 . What is the speed of sound in mercury at 20掳C?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The speed of sound in mercury at20掳Cis1448m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The density of mercury is 蚁=13,600kg/m3

TemperatureT=20掳C

02

Speed of sound in mercury

Bulk modulus of mercury at 20掳Cis B=2.85脳1010Pa.

The speed of sound in mercury at the given temperature is

vsound=B蚁=2.85脳101013,600鈮�1448m/s

Therefore, the speed of sound in mercury at20掳Cis1448m/s.

A sound wave with intensity 2.0 * 10-3 W/m2 is perceived to be modestly loud. Your eardrum is 6.0 mm in diameter. How much energy will be transferred to your eardrum while listening to this sound for 1.0 min?

The three-wave pulses in FIGURE Q16.1 travel along the same stretched string. Rank in order, from largest to smallest, their wave speeds va=vb=vc. Explain

FIGURE P16.58 shows two masses hanging from a steel wire.

The mass of the wire is 60.0 g. A wave pulse travels along the wire from point 1 to point 2 in 24.0 ms. What is mass m?
  1. Telephone signals are often transmitted over long distances by microwaves. What is the frequency of microwave radiation with a wavelength of 3.0 cm?
  2. Microwave signals are beamed between two mountaintops 50 km apart. How long does it take a signal to travel from one mountaintop to the other?

A water wave is a shallow-water wave if the water depth d is less than 鈮� l/10. It is shown in hydrodynamics that the speed of a shallow-water wave is v = 1gd, so waves slow down as they move into shallower water. Ocean waves, with wavelengths of typically 100 m, are shallow-water waves when the water depth is less than 鈮� 10 m. Consider a beach where the depth increases linearly with distance from the shore until reaching a depth of 5.0 m at a distance of 100 m. How long does it take a wave to move the last 100 m to the shore? Assume that the waves are so small that they don鈥檛 break before reaching the shore
