BIO ULTRASOUND IMAGING. A typical ultrasound transducer used for medical diagnosis produces a beam of ultrasound with a frequency of 1.0 MHz. The beam travels from the transducer through tissue and partially reflects when it encounters different structures in the tissue. The same transducer that produces the ultrasound also detects the reflections. The transducer emits a short pulse of ultrasound and waits to receive the reflected echoes before emitting the next pulse. By measuring the time between the initial pulse and the arrival of the reflected signal, we can use the speed of ultrasound in tissue, 1540 m/s, to determine the distance from the transducer to the structure that produced the reflection.
As the ultrasound beam passes through tissue, the beam is attenuated through absorption. Thus deeper structures return weaker echoes. A typical attenuation in tissue is −100 dB/m · MHz; in bone it is −500 dB/m · MHz. In determining attenuation, we take the reference intensity to be the intensity produced by the transducer.
16.77 If the deepest structure you wish to image is 10.0 cm from the transducer, what is the maximum number of pulses per second that can be emitted? (a) 3850; (b) 7700; (c) 15,400; (d) 1,000,000.
16.78 After a beam passes through 10 cm of tissue, what is the beam’s intensity as a fraction of its initial intensity from the transducer? (a) 1 × 10−11; (b) 0.001; (c) 0.01; (d) 0.1.
16.79 Because the speed of ultrasound in bone is about twice the speed in soft tissue, the distance to a structure that lies beyond a bone can be measured incorrectly. If a beam passes through 4 cm of tissue, then 2 cm of bone, and then another 1 cm of tissue before echoing off a cyst and returning to the transducer, what is the difference between the true distance to the cyst and the distance that is measured by assuming the speed is always 1540 m/s? Compared with the measured distance, the structure is actually (a) 1 cm farther; (b) 2 cm farther; (c) 1 cm closer; (d) 2 cm closer.
16.80 In some applications of ultrasound, such as its use on cranial tissues, large reflections from the surrounding bones can produce standing waves. This is of concern because the large pressure amplitude in an antinode can damage tissues. For a frequency of 1.0 MHz. what is the distance between antinodes in tissue? (a) 0.38 mm; (b) 0.75 mm; (c) 1.5 mm; (d) 3.0 mm.

Suppose (A) we film this motion and play the tape backward (so the tape begins with the ball at its highest point and ends with it reaching the point from which it was released), and (B) we observe the motion of the ball from a frame of reference moving up at the initial speed of the ball.

For example, cams open and close the valves in your car engine to admit gasoline vapor to each cylinder and to allow the escape of exhaust. The principle is illustrated in the figure below, showing a follower rod (also called a pushrod) of mass m resting on a wedge of mass M. The sliding wedge duplicates the function of a rotating eccentric disk on a camshaft in your car. Assume that there is no friction between the wedge and the base, between the pushrod and the wedge, or between the rod and the guide through which it slides. When the wedge is pushed to the left by the force F, the rod moves upward and does something such as opening a valve. By varying the shape of the wedge, the motion of the follower rod could be made quite complex, but assume that the wedge makes a constant angle of 0 = 15.0°. Suppose you want the wedge and the rod to start from rest and move with constant acceleration, with the rod moving upward 1.00 mm in 8.00 ms. Take m…arrow_forward
