If a timer is started displacement is a maximum (hence x = 8 cm when t = 0), what is the displacement of the mass when t = 2.8 s? A) 7.2 cm B) 2.52 cm C) -8.57 cm D)-6.472 cm E) 2.333333 cm

Explanation / Answer


Ans.(17)
power P = 100 W,
intensity I = P/area
= P/(4*pi*r^2)
=100/(4*pi*95^2)
= 8.81*10^-4 W/m2

intensity level in dB = 10log10(I/*10^-12)

=10log10(8.81*10^-4/10^-12)

= 89.45 dB
answer (E)
