Complete Question

The accepted speed of sound at atmospheric pressure and 0 *C is 331.5 m/s. The speed of sound increases 0.607 m/s for every *C. Calculate the speed of sound at the temperature of your room(70F) and compare your measured value to the accepted value.

Answer:

[tex]V_{Tc}=344.314m/s[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Speed of sound at Temperature [tex]0 \textdegree[/tex] [tex]V_0=331.5m/s[/tex]

Rate of Speed increase [tex]\triangle V_{infty}=0.607[/tex]

Generally the equation for Temperature in Celsius is mathematically given by

 [tex]Tc=\frac{100}{180}(T_f-32)[/tex]

 [tex]Tc=0.56*38[/tex]

 [tex]Tc=21.11 textdegree C[/tex]

Therefore speed at Tc

 [tex]V_{Tc}=V_0+(Tc)( V_{infty})[/tex]

 [tex]V_{Tc}=331.5+(21.11)(0.607)[/tex]

 [tex]V_{Tc}=344.314m/s[/tex]
