Chapter 13:
42. An object attached to a spring vibrates with simple harmonic motion as described by
Figure P13.42. For this motion, find (a) the amplitude, (b) the period, (c) the angular
frequency, (d) the maximum speed, (e) the maximum acceleration, and (f) an
equation for its position x in terms of a sine function.
48. The distance between two successive minima of a transverse wave is 2.76 m. Five
crests of the wave pass a given point along the direction of travel every 14.0 s. Find
(a) the frequency of the wave and (b) the wave speed.
51. An ethernet cable is 4.00 m long and has a mass of 0.200 kg. A transverse wave
pulse is produced by plucking one end of the taut cable. The pulse makes four trips
down and back along the cable in 0.800 s. What is the tension in the cable?

Chapter 14:
8. The range of human hearing extends from approximately 20 Hz to 20 000 Hz. Find
the wavelengths of these extremes at a temperature of 27C.
12. An outside loudspeaker (considered a small source) emits sound waves with a power
output of 100 W. (a) Find the intensity 10.0 m from the source. (b) Find the intensity
level in decibels at that distance. (c) At what distance would you experience the
sound at the threshold of pain, 120 dB?
24. A yellow submarine travelling horizontally at 11.0 m/s uses sonar with a frequency of
5.27 x 10
3
Hz. A red submarine is in front of the yellow submarine and moving 3.00
m/s relative to the water in the same direction. A crewman in the red submarine
observes sound waves (pings) from the yellow submarine. Take the speed of sound
in seawater as 1 533 m/s. (a) Write Equation 14.12. (b) Which submarine is the
source of the sound? (c) Which submarine carries the observer? (d) Does the motion
of the observers submarine increase or decrease the time between the pressure
maxima of the incoming sound waves? How does that affect the observed period?
The observed frequency? (e) Should the sign of v0 be positive or negative? (f) Does
the motion of the source submarine increase or decrease the time observed
between the pressure maxima? How does this motion affect the observed period?
The observed frequency? (g) What sign should be chosen for vs? (h) Substitute the
appropriate numbers and obtain the frequency observed by the crewman on the red
submarine.
30. A bat flying at 5.00 m/s is chasing an insect flying in the same direction. If the bat
emits a 40.0-kHz chirp and receives back an echo at 40.4 kHz, (a) what is the speed of
the insect? (b) Will the bat be able to catch the insect? Explain.
36. Two loudspeakers are placed above and below each other, as in Figure P14.36 and
driven by the same source at a frequency of 4.50 x 10
2
Hz. An observer is in front of
the speakers (to the right) at point O, at the same distance from each speaker. What
minimum vertical distance upward should the top speaker be moved to create
destructive interference at point O?
41. A stretched string of length L is observed to vibrate in five equal segments when
driven by a 630-Hz oscillator. What oscillator frequency will set up a standing wave
so that the string vibrates in three segments?

48. Standing-wave vibrations are set up in a crystal goblet with four nodes and four
antinodes equally spaced around the 20.0-cm circumference of its rim. If transverse
waves move around the glass at 900 m/s, an opera singer would have to produce a
high harmonic with what frequency in order to shatter the glass with a resonant
vibration?
50. Two adjacent natural frequencies of an organ pipe are found to be 550 Hz and 650
Hz. (a) Calculate the fundamental frequency of the pipe. (b) Is the pipe open at both
ends or open at only one end? (c) What is the length of the pipe?
