- The bulk modulus of water is 2.2 109 Pa (Table 15.2). The density of water is 103 kg/m3 (Table 15.1). Find the speed of sound in water and compare your answer with the value given in Table 17.1.arrow_forwardThree metal rods are located relative to each other as shown in Figure P17.68. where Ls = L1 + L2. The speed of sound in a rod is given by = Y/p, where Y is Youngs modulus for the rod and is the density. Values of density and Young's modulus for the three materials are 1 = 2.70 X 103 kg/m3, Y1 = 7.00 1010 N/m, 2 = 11.3 103 kg/m3, = 1.60 1010 N/m2. s = 8.80 103 kg/m3 Ys = 11.0 1010N/m2. If L3 = 1.50m, what must the ratio L1/L2if a sound wave is to travel the length of rods 1 and 2 in the same time interval required for the wave to travel the length of rod 3?arrow_forwardAs shown in Figure P14.37, water is pumped into a tall, vertical cylinder at a volume flow rate R. The radius of the cylinder is r, and at the open top of the cylinder a tuning fork is vibrating with a frequency f. As the water rises, what time interval elapses between successive resonances?

- As in Figure P18.16, a simple harmonic oscillator is attached to a rope of linear mass density 5.4 102 kg/m, creating a standing transverse wave. There is a 3.6-kg block hanging from the other end of the rope over a pulley. The oscillator has an angular frequency of 43.2 rad/s and an amplitude of 24.6 cm. a. What is the distance between adjacent nodes? b. If the angular frequency of the oscillator doubles, what happens to the distance between adjacent nodes? c. If the mass of the block is doubled instead, what happens to the distance between adjacent nodes? d. If the amplitude of the oscillator is doubled, what happens to the distance between adjacent nodes? FIGURE P18.16arrow_forwardThe equation of a harmonic wave propagating along a stretched string is represented by y(x, t) = 4.0 sin (1.5x 45t), where x and y are in meters and the time t is in seconds. a. In what direction is the wave propagating? be. N What are the b. amplitude, c. wavelength, d. frequency, and e. propagation speed of the wave?arrow_forwardTable 17.1 shows the speed of sound is typically an order of magnitude larger in solids than in gases. To what can this higher value be most directly attributed? (a) the difference in density between solids and gases (b) the difference in compressibility between solids and gases (c) the limited size of a solid object compared to a free gas (d) the impossibility of holding a gas under significant tensionarrow_forward
- A sound wave traveling in air has a pressure amplitude of 0.5 Pa. What is the intensity of the wave?arrow_forwardA block of mass m = 5.00 kg is suspended from a wire that passes over a pulley and is attached to a wall (Fig. P17.71). Traveling waves are observed to have a speed of 33.0 m/s on the wire. a. What is the mass per unit length of the wire? b. What would the speed of waves on the wire be if the suspended mass were decreased to 2.50 kg? FIGURE P17.71arrow_forward
