A periodic vibration at x = 0, t = 0 displaces air molecules along the x direction by smax = 3.2E-05 m. The motion produces a sound wave that travels at a velocity of v = 336 m/s with a frequency of f = 120 Hz. Take the density of air as ρa = 1.20 kg/m3. Calculate the displacement of the air molecules using an function for the traveling sound wave in terms of time and position at time t = 0.001 s and displacement x = 1.0 m.  Write an expression for the maximum pressure exerted by the sound wave ΔPmax in terms of the air density ρa, the sound velocity v, the angular frequency ω, and the maximum displacement smax. The sound wave is directly incident on a sheet of paper of surface area A = 0.013 m2. Calculate the maximum force Fmax, in newtons, exerted on this sheet.
