You are working for a plumber who is laying very long sections of copper pipe for a large building project. He spends a lot of time measuring the lengths of the sections with a measuring tape. You suggest a faster way to measure the length. You know that the speed of a one-dimensional compressional wave traveling along a copper pipe is 3.56 km/s. You suggest that a worker give a sharp hammer blow at one end of the pipe. Using an oscilloscope app on your smartphone, you will measure the time interval t between the arrival of the two sound waves due to the blow: one through the 20.0C air and the other through the pipe. (a) To measure the length, you must derive an equation that relates the length L of the pipe numerically to the time interval t. (b) You measure a time interval of t = 127 ms between the arrivals of the pulses and, from this value, determine the length of the pipe. (c) Your smartphone app claims an accuracy of 1.0% in measuring time intervals. So you calculate by how many centimeters your calculation of the length might be in error.
