To calculate the velocity of sound in nitrogen under similar conditions, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Composition of Air Air is composed of 4 parts nitrogen (N₂) and 1 part oxygen (O₂). Therefore, the total parts of air can be represented as: - Nitrogen: 4 parts - Oxygen: 1 part - Total parts = 4 + 1 = 5 parts ...
