Problem 14.71 IP Standing Waves in the Human Ear The human ear canal is much like an organ pipe that is closed at one end (at the tympanic membrane or eardrum) and open at the other (Figure 1) . A typical ear canal has a length of about 2.4 cm.

Part A What are the fundamental frequency and wavelength of the ear canal? Express your answer using two significant figures. f1 =_______ Hz

Part B Express your answer using two significant figures. λ1 = _____cm

Part C Find the frequency and wavelength of the ear canal's third harmonic. (Recall that the third harmonic in this case is the standing wave with the second-lowest frequency.) Express your answer using two significant figures. f3 =_______ Hz

Part D Express your answer using two significant figures. λ3 =_____ cm

Part E Suppose a person has an ear canal that is shorter than 2.4 cm. Is the fundamental frequency of that person's ear canal greater than, less than, or the same as the value found in part A? Explain.

An article included data from a survey of 2,595 hiring managers and human resource professionals. The article noted that more employers are now using social networks to screen job applicants. Of the 2,595 people who participated in the survey, 1,200 indicated that they use social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, and LinkedIn to research job applicants. Assume that the sample is representative of hiring managers and human resource professionals.

Use the five-step process for estimation problems (EMC³) to construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of hiring managers and human resource professionals who use social networking sites to research job applicants.

The country has an abundance of capital and labor with low levels of human capital and technology. Also, Zackburgh, a rich city-state near Cohleland has been offering fast track citizenships to any person from Cohleland who has earned a college degree.  

4. Many private security companies perform tasks similar to public law enforcement. Because of this, many security companies’ human resources departments seek applicants with similar backgrounds and experience that public law enforcement also desires. In a 500-word response, identify the skills and experience human resource managers in private security would seek in their applicants. Provide and explain two qualities of private security that would make the job more attractive to applicants than the public law enforcement. Provide and explain to issues or challenges human resource managers might face in applicants selecting private security over public law enforcement.

Question 3. This question looks at what happens when markets do not clear. Suppose that the metropolitan museum of New York will display the works of Leonardo Da Vinci for one week. Each day one hundred people can view the exhibition so supply is fixed at that number. The Museum sets an admission price of $10.

Suppose that the demand to see the exhibit each day is Q^d = 400 – 10p.

1. How many people want to attend the exhibition at this price?

Suppose people must wait in line when there is excess demand to attend the exhibit? The opportunity cost of time is $10 per hour.

2. How many hours would you expect people to wait in line to see the exhibit?
3. Suppose the Museum gives a free ticket to David Gabel, the chair of the economics department. David values a trip to the exhibit at $20. What can he obtain for his ticket if he sells it on the black market?
4. Suppose that the Museum decides to raise the price to $30. What is the loss in consumer surplus to consumers arising from the increase in price?
