Two speakers face each other, and they each emit a sound of wavelength λ. One speaker is 180∘ out of phase with respect to the other. If we separate the speakers by a distance 1.5λ, how far from the left-most speaker should we place a microphone in order to pick up the loudest sound? Ignore reflections from nearby surfaces.

A. 3/4 lambda
B. 0 lambda
C. 1/2 lambda
D. 1/4 lambda
E. 1 lambda

An ideal otto cycle has a compression ratio of 8. at the beginning of the compression process, air is at 95 kpa and 27°c, and 750 kj/kg of heat is transferred to air during the constant-volume heat-addition process. assuming constant specific heats at room temperature, determine (a) the pressure and temperature at the end of the heat-addition process, (b) the net work output, (c) the thermal efficiency, and (d) the mean effective pressure for the cycle. (4390 kpa, 1730 k; 423 kj/kg; 56.4%; 534 kpa)
