A jet engine emits sound uniformly in all directions, radiating an acoustic power of 3.77 × 10 5 W. Find the intensity of the sound at a distance of 46.1 m from the engine

Answer :

Answer:

[tex]I = 14.12 W/m^2[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that:

acoustic power (P)= 3.77 × 10⁵ W

Find the intensity of the sound at a distance of 46.1 m from the engine

The distance (i.e the radius) = 46.1 m

The relation [tex]I=\frac{P}{4 \pi r^2}[/tex] can used to find the intensity of the sound from the engine.

Substituting our values, we have:

[tex]I= \frac{3.77*10^5}{4 \pi (46.1)^2}W/m^2[/tex]

[tex]I = 14.117 W/m^2[/tex]

[tex]I = 14.12 W/m^2[/tex]

The intensity of the sound at the given distance is 14.11 W/m².

The given parameters;

  • power of the jet engine, P = 3.77 x 10⁻⁵ W.
  • distance of the sound, r = 46.1 m

The intensity of the sound at the given distance is calculated as follows;

[tex]I = \frac{P}{A}[/tex]

where;

  • I is the intensity of the sound
  • P is the power
  • A is the area of the surrounding

[tex]\\\\I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^2} \\\\I = \frac{3.77 \times 10^5}{4\pi (46.1)^2} \\\\I = 14.11 \ W/m^2[/tex]

Thus, the intensity of the sound at the given distance is 14.11 W/m².
