- Open QuestionA 20.0-cm-long, 10.0-cm-diameter cylinder with a piston at one end contains 1.34 kg of an unknown liquid. Using the piston to compress the length of the liquid by 1.00 mm increases the pressure by 41.0 atm. What is the speed of sound in the liquid?
- Open QuestionTwo loudspeakers in a 20°C room emit 686 Hz sound waves along the x-axis.b. If the speakers are out of phase, what is the smallest distance between the speakers for which the interference of the sound waves is maximum constructive?
- Open QuestionTwo loudspeakers emit sound waves along the x-axis. The sound has maximum intensity when the speakers are 20 cm apart. The sound intensity decreases as the distance between the speakers is increased, reaching zero at a separation of 60 cm.a. What is the wavelength of the sound?

(II) A bottle has a mass of 32.00 g when empty and 98.44 g when filled with water. When filled with another fluid, the mass is 89.22 g. What is the specific gravity of this other fluid?

(III) The Earth is not a uniform sphere, but has regions of varying density. Consider a simple model of the Earth divided into three regions—inner core, outer core, and mantle. Let us assume each region has a constant density (the average density of that region in the real Earth):
(a) Use this model to predict the average density of the entire Earth.

(II) On dry land, an athlete weighs 70.2 kg. The same athlete, when submerged in a swimming pool and hanging from a scale, has an “apparent weight” of 3.4 kg. Using Example 13–10 as a guide,
(c) What is the athlete’s percent body fat assuming it is given by the formula (495 / SG) - 450?
