3. transverse wave is traveling on a string. The displacement y of a particle from


its equilibrium position is given by y = (0.021 m) sin (25t − 2.0 x). Note that the
phase angle 25t − 2.0x is in radians, t is in seconds, and x is in meters. The linear
density of the string is 1.6 × 10−2 kg/m. What is the tension in the string?
6. At a distance of 3.8 m from a siren, the sound intensity is 3.6 × 10−2 W/m2.
Assuming that the siren radiates sound uniformly in all directions, find the total
power radiated.

7. Hearing damage may occur when a person is exposed to a sound intensity level
of 90.0 dB (relative to the threshold of hearing) for a period of 9.0 hours. One
particular eardrum has an area of 2.0 × 10−4 m2. How much sound energy is
incident on this eardrum during this time?
8. Two trucks travel at the same speed. They are far apart on adjacent lanes and
approach each other essentially head-on. One driver hears the horn of the other
truck at a frequency that is 1.14 times the frequency he hears when the trucks are
stationary. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. At what speed is each truck moving?
