Explain how the absorption of sound waves differs from the transmission of sound waves

1 answer:

Gnom [1K]3 years ago

4 0

When a sound wave meets an obstacle, some of the sound is reflected back from the front surface and some of the sound passes into the obstacle material, where it is absorbed or transmitted through the material.

Reflection and absorption are dependent on the wavelength of the sound. The percentage of the sound transmitted through an obstacle depends on how much sound is reflected and how much is absorbed. We are assuming that the obstacle is relatively large, such that no sound passes around the edges.

For the material in the previous question that yields at 200 MPa, what is the maximum mass, in kg, that a cylindrical bar with d

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

The maximum mass the bar can support without yielding = 32408.26 kg

Explanation:

Yield stress of the material ( $\sigma$ ) = 200 M Pa

Diameter of the bar = 4.5 cm = 45 mm

We know that yield stress of the bar is given by the formula

Yield Stress = $\frac{Maximum load}{Area of the bar}$

⇒ $\sigma$ = $\frac{P_{max} }{A}$ ---------------- (1)

⇒ Area of the bar (A) = $\frac{\pi}{4}$ × $D^{2}$

⇒ A = $\frac{\pi}{4}$ × $45^{2}$

⇒ A = 1589.625 $mm^{2}$

Put all the values in equation (1) we get

⇒ $P_{max}$ = 200 × 1589.625

⇒ $P_{max}$ = 317925 N

In this bar the $P_{max}$ is equal to the weight of the bar.

⇒ $P_{max}$ = $M_{max}$ × g

Where $M_{max}$ is the maximum mass the bar can support.

⇒ $M_{max}$ = $\frac{P_{max} }{g}$

Put all the values in the above formula we get

⇒ $M_{max}$ = $\frac{317925}{9.81}$

⇒ $M_{max}$ = 32408.26 Kg

There fore the maximum mass the bar can support without yielding = 32408.26 kg

Wire sizes are often reported using the AWG (American Wire Gauge) system in which smaller diameter wires are said to be of highe

NISA [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

24 - gauge wire , diameter = .51 mm .

Resistivity of copper ρ = 1.72 x 10⁻⁸ ohm-m

R = ρ l / s

1.72x 10⁻⁸ / [3.14 x( .51/2)² x 10⁻⁶ ]

= 8.42 x 10⁻² ohm

= .084 ohm

B ) Current required through this wire

= 12 / .084 A

= 142.85 A

C )

Let required length be l

resistance = .084 l

2 = 12 / .084 l

l = 12 / (2 x .084)

= 71.42 m
