10-5. A sound power level reading of 127 dB was taken near a construction site where chippers were being used. When all but one of the chippers stopped working, the sound power level reading was 120 dB. Estimate the number of chippers in operation when the reading of 127 was obtained. You may assume that the sources may be treated as ideal point sources located at the same point.
