Question

Transcribed Image Text:A cylinder completely filled with an unknown liquid has a radius of 1.50 cm, a length of 64.0 cm, and a mass of 357 g. An engineer performs an experiment to measure the speed of sound in the liquid. A
small speaker emits a sound pulse at one end of the cylinder, which travels through the liquid and is detected by a microphone attached at the other end. The elapsed time between emission of the
sound pulse and its detection by the microphone is measured by an electronic circuit to be 5.90 x 10-4 s.
What the bulk modulus (in Pa) of the liquid in the cylinder?
3714
x
What is the speed of sound in the material? How is it related to the bulk modulus and density of the material? What is the volume of a cylinder? Be careful with units in your calculations. Pa

- On a hot summer day, the temperature of air in Arizona reaches 104°F. What is the speed of sound in air at this temperature? (The speed of sound at 0°C is 331 m/s. Use the conversion 0°C = 273 K as necessary.)arrow_forwardThe speed of sound in air is 331 m/s at atmospheric pressure and 0 Celsius. Suppose you put a electronic pinger in an air-tight glass jar and change the pressure of the air inside by a factor 1.3, while the volume, composition and temperature of the air remain the same. What speed would you measure for the sound inside the jar? Give your answer in m/s.arrow_forwardThe speed of sound in a solid medium is given by the formulae v = VElp where E is the value of Young's modulus for the solid and p is the density. A sound wave travels at 5.8 x 10 m/s in a steel rod of length 1.00 m, diameter 2.0 cm and mass 7.0 kg. Use the data to determine the value of the Young's modulus for steel. Give your answer in giga-pascal (GPa, 109 N per m2).arrow_forward

- The accepted value for the speed of sound in dry air is 331.50 m/s at 0 °C. This speed increases by 0.607 m/s for each additional °C. Compute the accepted value for the speed of sound in air at a room temperature of 27 °C, also known as 300 K because T = 273.15 + t ( Here t is in degree Celsius).arrow_forwardThe speed of sound in a solid medium is given by v = √E/p where E is the value of Young's modulus for the solid and p is the density. A sound wave travels at 5.8 x 10³ m/s in a steel rod of length 1.02 m, diameter 2.0 cm and mass 7.0 kg. Use the data to determine the value of the Young's modulus for steel. Give your answer in giga-pascal (GPa, 10⁹ Nm ²).arrow_forwardA sound wave arriving at your ear is transferred to the fluid in the cochlea. If the intensity in the fluid is 0.410 times that in air and the frequency is the same as for the wave in air, what will be the ratio of the pressure amplitude of the wave in air to that in the fluid? Approximate the fluid as having the same values of density and speed of sound as water. Speed of sound in dry air (20.0°C, 1.00 atm) is 343 m/s, density of dry air (at STP) is 1.29 kg/m3, density of water is 1000 kg/m3, and speed of sound in water is 1493 m/s.arrow_forward
- You are on a boat in a fog and know there are cliffs ahead of you somewhere, but you cannot see them. You use your fog horn to send out a blast of sound (assume the temperature of the air is 20 oC) and the time it takes for the sound to return to you is 20.0 s. How far away are the cliffs (in metric units)? Hint: Be careful and think about the physics of the problem. You may want to make a sketch of the situation to help you determine the answer. 1798 m 3444 m 3596 m 7192 marrow_forwardSpeed of sound (vo) in dry air at 0°C is 331 m/s. Therefore, at room temperature (23°C) the speed (vT) will be O [331 x 296) /273)] m/s O [(331 x 23) /273] m/s O [331/(296/273)] m/s V[331 (23/273)] m/sarrow_forwardQuestion 2 If the speed of sound in air at 0 °C is 331 m/s.
