A nonuniform wire of length L and mass M has a variable lin- ear mass density given by = kx, where x is the distance from one end of the wire and k is a constant. (a) Show that M = KL²12. (b) Show that the time t required for a pulse gen- erated at one end of the wire to travel to the other end is given by t = √8ML/9F where F is the tension in the wire.

(a) To appreciate the human ear’s twelve order of magnitude (1012) span from barely audible to the pain threshold, consider the following. Suppose an equivalently dynamic instrument were designed to measure distances. Taking the lower limit of the instrument to be 1.00 mm, what would be the largest distance measurable? (b) To provide a perspective for the human ear’s frequency sensitivity range (audible frequency extremes differ by 103 ), consider a speedometer with a similar speed range. If the speedometer’s maximum speed reading is 90.0 mi/h, what is the smallest finite speed that it could register?
Suppose a bat uses sound echoes to locate its insect prey, 3.00 m away. (a) Calculate the echo times for temperatures of 5.00C and 35.0C. (b) What percent uncertainty does this cause for the bat in locating the insect? (c) Discuss the significance of this uncertainty and whether it could cause difficulties for the bat. (In practice, the bat continues to use sound as it closes in, eliminating most of any difficulties imposed by this and other effects, such as motion of the prey.)
