Airport authority has made the regulation that maximum allowable intensity level detected by a microphone situated at the end of 1630 m long runway can be 100 dB. An aeroplane when flying at a height of 200 m produces an intensity level of 100 dB on ground. while taking off, this aeroplane makes an angle of 30^@ with horizontal. Find the maximum distance this aeroplane can cover on the runway, so that the regulation are not violated (assume no reflection).

The sound of an explosion on the surface of a lake is heard by a boat man 100 m away and by a diver 100 m below the point of explosion. (i) Who would hear the sound first: boatman or diver? (ii) Give a reason for your answer in part (i).

To permit measurement of her speed a sky diver carries a buzzer emitting a steady tone at 1800 Hz. A friend on the ground at the landing site directly below listens to the amplified sound he receives. Assume the air is calm and the sound speed is 343 (m)/(s) independent of altitude. While the sky diver is falling at terminal speed, his friend on the ground receives waves of frequency 2150 Hz. (a) What is the sky diver's speed of descent? (b) Suppose the sky diver can hear the sound of the buzzer reflected from the ground. What frequency does she receive?

The blades of a windmill sweep out a circle of area A. (a) If the wind flows at a velocity v perpendicular to the circle, what is the mass of the air passing through in time t? (b) What is the kinetic energy of the air? (c) Assume that the windmill converts 25% of the wind's energy into electrical energy, and that A=30m^2 , v=36kmh^-1 and the density of air is 1.2kgm^-3 , what is the electrical power produced?
