(III) You look directly overhead and see a plane exactly 1.45 km above the ground flying faster than the speed of sound. By the time you hear the sonic boom, the plane has traveled a horizontal distance of 2.0 km. See Fig. 12–38. Determine (a) the angle of the shock cone, 0, and (b) the speed of the plane and its Mach number. Assume the speed of sound is 330 m/s. FIGURE 12-38 Problem 69.

[B] Earthquakes generate two sorts of waves in rock, shear or 5 waves which travel at about 4.5 km/s and pressure or P waves traveling at about 8 km/s. (1) After one such quake, a seismograph station picks up the S wave 3.0 minutes after the P wave. How far away was the source, or epicenter, of the earthquake? | (2) When a quake is detected, a steady 250 Hz alarm sounds in the hallway of a facility to alert the person on watch. The alarm is also sent to the cell phones of the staff on duty which emit the same 250 Hz tone. One of the staff responding to the alert runs down the hall, approaching the hallway speaker. She notices a 2 Hz variation in the loudness of the 250 Hz tone as she runs with her phone. What frequency is she hearing from the speaker? From your answer, how fast was she running, if the speed of sound is 344 m/s? A wave traveling through granite comes to a boundary with sandstone. The effective bulk modulus and density for each of these rocks is given in the table below.…

The windpipe of a typical whooping crane is about 5.4 feet long, what is the lowest resonant frequency of this pipe, assuming that it is closed at one end. Assume a temperature of 40 C.
Approximately a third of people with normal hearing have ears that continuously emit a low-intensity sound outward through the ear canal. A person with such spontaneous otoacoustic emission is rarely aware of the sound, except perhaps in a noisefree environment, but occasionally the emission is loud enough to be heard by someone else nearby. In one observation, the sound wave had a frequency of 1665 Hz and a pressure amplitude of 1.13 *10-3 Pa. What were (a) the displacement amplitude and (b) the intensity of the wave emitted by the ear?
