We can make a simple model of the human vocal tract as an open-closed tube extending from the opening of the mouth to the diaphragm

Q: What is the length of this tube if its fundamental frequency equals a typical speech frequency of 240 Hz ? The speed of sound in the warm air is 350 m/s.

The Elephant ear canal has a length of 17 cm, and is also an open-closed tube. Assume the speed of sound is 343 m/s. a) Calculate the fundamental frequency of the Elephant's ear canal. b) Should sound with that frequency appear to be louder to the elephant, or quieter than half that frequency? Also, can the average human hear this sound? What range of frequencies can the average human hear? d) Draw a diagram of (i) the displacement of air...

To keep the calculations fairly simple, but still reasonable, we shall model a human leg that is 92.0 cm long (measured from the hip joint) by assuming that the upper leg and the lower leg (which includes the foot) have equal lengths and that each of them is uniform. For a 70.0 kg person, the mass of the upper leg would be 8.60 kg , while that of the lower leg (including the foot) would be 5.30 kg . Take...

Compare the Closed-Economy IS-LM model, an Open-Economy IS-LM-BP model in which exchange rates are allowed to float freely, and an Open-Economy IS-LM-BP model in which exchange rates are held constant by the central bank. Specifically, use the three models to explain, and compare, the effects on GDP, interest, and the exchange rate of the national currency of: a. A sudden increase in government expenditures. b. A sharp increase in the discount rate and a massive sale of Treasury bonds by...

Consider a closed economy (no international trade) under a simple Keynesian model. Assume investment is a constant. Tax is a lump-sum that does not depend on income. If a government increases its expenditure by $1 but at the same time increases the lump-sum tax by $1. Will real output be increased or decreased, and by how much?
