Answer:

Explanation:
What is said is that the meter fell d=18.3cm=0.183m under the action of gravity. We can use the formula for accelerated motion:

Since it departed from rest it will mean that:

So our time will be:

Which for our values is:

Given that,
Output power = 87 W
Decibel reading = 120 dB
We need to calculate the intensity of sound
Using formula of intensity of sound

Put the value into the formula





We need to calculate the distance
Using relation of power out[ut and intensity

Put the value into the formula



Hence, The distance is 2.63 m
