Ajet plane has a sound level of 120 db at a distance of 60 m. what is the q23. sound level at a distance of 6.0 km? (60)2 (6000)? om solution 80db db, hint: 16x assume ultrasound waves travel through the body of an animal at 1540 q24. m/s. if a 30,000 hz signal were reflected off a portion of a heart which was moving toward the source at 3 m/s, what frequency signal would return to the stationary source? solution 30.117hz

Total solidification times of three casting geometries are to be compared: a sphere, a cylinder, in which the length-to-diameter ration - 1.0, and a cube. volume = 1000 cm^3 for all three shhapes, and the same casting alloy is used. a) determine the solidification times of each geometry b) based on the results of part (a), which geometric element would make the best riser? c) if the mold constant = 3.5 min/cm^2 in chvorinov's rule, compute the total solidification time for each casting.
