If the sound comes from the right side, the waves reach the right ear before the left ear. if the sound comes from the left side, the waves reach the left ear before the right ear. The difference between the phases of waves reaching both ears is detected by the ears and then interpreted by the brain
It is about 100oC at a pressure of 1.1 atmosphere. Hope this helps.
Let us say that x is the cut that we will make on the
sides to make a box, therefore the new dimensions are:
l = 15 – 2x
w = 8 – 2x
It is 2x since we cut on two sides.
We know that volume is:
V = l w x
V = (15 – 2x) (8 – 2x) x
V = 120x – 30x^2 – 16x^2 + 4x^3
V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3
Taking the 1st derivative:
dV/dx = 120 – 92x + 12x^2
Set dV/dx = 0 to get maxima:
120 – 92x + 12x^2 = 0
Divide by 12:
x^2 – (92/12)x + 10 = 0
(x – (92/24))^2 = -10 + (92/24)^2
x - 92/24 = ±2.17
x = 1.66, 6
We cannot have x = 6 because that will make our w
negative, so:
x = 1.66 inches
So the largest volume is:
V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3
V = 120(1.66) – 46(1.66)^2 + 4(1.66)^3
V = 90.74 cubic inches
