### Sound Intensity and Decibel LevelsYou are in a room where there are two machines. One creates a sound level of 80 dB; and the other 90 dB as perceived by your ears.#### Questions:a. What is the sound intensity in W/m² created by machine 1? b. What is the sound intensity in W/m² created by machine 2? c. Determine the total sound level in dB you experience in that room.Fig. 1: [Diagram/graph not included in the image for this problem]**Explanation:**1. **Sound Intensity and Decibels:** - **Decibel (dB)** is a logarithmic unit used to measure sound level. It quantifies sound intensity relative to a reference level. - **Sound Intensity (I)** in W/m² is a measure of the power per unit area carried by a sound wave.2. **Formulas:** - Sound Level (L) in dB: \[ L = 10 \cdot \log_{10} \left( \frac{I}{I_0} \right) \] where \( I_0 = 10^{-12} \, \text{W/m}^2 \) is the reference intensity. - To find the intensity \( I \) for a given sound level: \[ I = I_0 \cdot 10^{\frac{L}{10}} \] 3. **Calculations:** - For machine 1 (80 dB): \[ I_1 = 10^{-12} \cdot 10^{\frac{80}{10}} = 10^{-12} \cdot 10^8 = 10^{-4} \, \text{W/m}^2 \] - For machine 2 (90 dB): \[ I_2 = 10^{-12} \cdot 10^{\frac{90}{10}} = 10^{-12} \cdot 10^9 = 10^{-3} \, \text{W/m}^2 \] - To find the total sound level: - Combine the intensities: \[ I_{\text{total}} = I_1 + I_2 = 10^{-4} + 10^{-3

A2 = m f2 = Hz c. A3 = m f3 Hz %3D d. X4 = m fa = Hz
A 4.95-m, 0.736-kg wire is used to support two uniform 239-N posts of equal length (Figure 1). Assume that the wire is essentially horizontal and that the speed of sound is 344 m/s. A strong wind is blowing, causing the wire to vibrate in its 5th overtone. a. What is the frequency of the sound this wire produces? b. What is the wavelength of the sound this wire produces?
A heavy piece of hanging sculpture is suspended by a 90.0-cm-long, 5.00 g steel wire. When the wind blows hard, the wire hums at its fundamental frequency of 80.0 Hz. a. What is the speed of the wave on the wire?b. What is the mass of the sculpture pulling down on the wire?
Your ear simultaneously hears waves from different sources, so it can hear beats from the two speakers. Suppose one speaker is driven at 584 Hz and the other at 560 Hz. a. What is the beat frequency (in Hz)? The average frequency (in Hz)? b. Using the information from above, do you think the pitch of the waves sounds significantly different when both speakers are on? (Yes or no)

An airplane approaches at an altitude of 10 km flying at 600 km/hr. a. Jet engines typically emit sound over a wide spectrum of frequencies, with the maximum sound energy at 200 Hz. From this emitted sound, what frequency do you hear initially when it is 1 minute away, and what frequency do you hear 1 minute after it has passed by? b. What would you hear, and when would you hear it, if the plane were "hypersonic", traveling three times the speed of sound, or "Mach 3"? That's approximately the fastest military aircraft in routine service today. To have higher speeds in air takes considerably more energy. For example, after two and half minutes of flight, when the first-stage main engines of the Space X Falcon shut down, it is 80 kilometers high and moving at Mach 10 on its way to Earth orbit. The Mach number depends on the temperature of the air.
