i cant seem to understand this from our lecture, i would also love an explanation on how to understand these for the future !
Party hearing. As the number of people at a party increases, you must raise your voice for a listener to hear you against the background
noise of the other partygoers. However, once you reach the level of yelling, the only way you can be heard is if you move closer to your
listener, into the listener's "personal space." Model the situation by replacing you with an isotropic point source of fixed power Pand
replacing your listener with a point that absorbs part of your sound waves. These points are initially separated by r; = 1.70 m. If the
background noise increases by AB = 5.10 dB, the sound level at your listener must also increase. What separation rț is then required?

- In the short story The Pit and the Pendulum by 19th-century American horror writer Edgar Allen Poe, a man is tied to a table directly below a swinging pendulum that is slowly lowered toward him. The bob of the pendulum is a 1-ft steel scythe connected to a 30-ft brass rod. When the man first sees the pendulum, the pivot is roughly 1 ft above the scythe so that a 29-ft length of the brass rod oscillates above the pivot (Fig. P16.39A). The man escapes when the pivot is near the end of the brass rod (Fig. P16.39B). a. Model the pendulum as a particle of mass ms 5 2 kg attached to a rod of mass mr 5 160 kg. Find the pendulums center of mass and rotational inertia around an axis through its center of mass. (Check your answers by finding the center of mass and rotational inertia of just the brass rod.) b.
