Two small loudspeakers emit sound waves of different frequencies equally in all directions. Speaker A has an output of 1.30 mW, and speaker B has an output of 1.90 mW. Two speakers A and B are represented as points which serve as the centers of concentric circles representing sound waves emanating from the speakers. The concentric circles about speaker A are spaced more closely together than the concentric circles about speaker B. The points lie along a horizontal line, and speaker A is 5.00 m to the left of speaker B. A vertical line is drawn that intersects the horizontal line at a distance of 3.00 m from the left speaker and 2.00 m from the right speaker. Point C lies along this vertical line at a distance of 4.00 m above the point of intersection. (a) Determine the sound level (in decibels) at point C in the figure if only speaker A emits sound. (Enter your answer to at least one decimal place.) dB (b) Determine the sound level (in decibels) at point C in the figure if only speaker B emits sound. (Enter your answer to at least one decimal place.) dB (c) Determine the sound level (in decibels) at point C in the figure if both speakers emit sound. (Enter your answer to at least the nearest dB.) dB/Users/crystaldawnmcclendon/Desktop/14-p-064.gif

A person with mass m1 = 68 kg stands at the left end of a uniform beam with mass m2 = 109 kg and a length L = 2.5 m. Another person with mass m3 = 50 kg stands on the far right end of the beam and holds a medicine ball with mass m4 = 8 kg (assume that the medicine ball is at the far right end of the beam as well). Let the origin of our coordinate system be the left end of the original position of the beam as shown in the drawing. Assume there is no friction between the beam and floor.

2. The medicine ball is throw to the left end of the beam (and caught). What is the location of the center of mass now?
3. What is the new x-position of the person at the left end of the beam? (How far did the beam move when the ball was throw from person to person?)
4. To return the medicine ball to the other person, both people walk to the center of the beam. At what x-position do they end up?
