A weather emergency siren is mounted on a tower, 105 m above the ground. On one hand, it would be a good idea to make the siren

very loud so that it will warn as many people as possible. On the other hand, safety regulations prohibit the siren from exceeding an intensity level of 101 dB for workers standing on the ground directly below the siren. Assuming that the sound is uniformly emitted, what is the maximum power that the siren can put out

4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

101 dB = 10.1 B.

Maximum intensity of sound allowed = 10.1 B

Intensity of sound in terms of W/m² can be found as follows

log (I / I₀) = 10.1

I / I₀ = 10¹⁰°¹

I = I₀ X 10¹⁰°¹

= 10⁻¹² X  10¹⁰°¹

= 10⁻¹°⁹ W/m²

105 m above the ground the this intensity will be 105² times

intensity at source point = 10⁻¹°⁹ x 105²

= 138.79 W/m²

energy of sound from source

= 4π times

= 4 x 3.14 x 138.79

= 1743.28W/m²

To calculate in terms of decibel :

log 1743.28 / 10⁻¹²

= log 1743.28 +12

= 15.24 B

= 152.4 dB .

152.4 dB .

Does a stove have mechanical energy
Ainat [17]

-- Any object has gravitational potential energy relative to any place
lower than where the object is.  The stove in the kitchen has potential
energy relative to the basement floor.

-- If an object is not moving, then it has no kinetic energy. The stove has
no kinetic energy unless you throw it or drop it out of a window.

Is walking just a constant state of falling?
atroni [7]

Answer:

Yes. Walking is controlled falling because you need to let go in order to move forward. If you never let your foot fall, your movements would be stilted and robotic. And according to medical engineers," When we walk normally we are constantly correcting tiny falls to keep ourselves stable."

Two strings are adjusted to vibrate at exactly 202 Hz. Then the tension in one string isincreased slightly. Afterward, three bea
Semenov [28]

The concepts necessary to solve this problem are framed in the expression of string vibration frequency as well as the expression of the number of beats per second conditioned at two frequencies.

Mathematically, the frequency of the vibration of a string can be expressed as

f = \frac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

Where,

L = Vibrating length string

T = Tension in the string

\mu = Linear mass density

At the same time we have the expression for the number of beats described as

n = |f_1-f_2|

Where

f_1 = First frequency

f_2 = Second frequency

From the previously given data we can directly observe that the frequency is directly proportional to the root of the mechanical Tension:

f \propto \sqrt{T}

If we analyze carefully we can realize that when there is an increase in the frequency ratio on the tight string it increases. Therefore, the beats will be constituted under two waves; one from the first string and the second as a residue of the tight wave, as well

n = f_2-f_1

f_2 = n+f_1

Replacing 3/sfor n and 202Hz for f_1,

f_2 = 3/s + 202Hz

f_2 = 3/s(\frac{1Hz}{1/s})+202Hz

f_2 = 206Hz

The frequency of the tightened is 205Hz
