A sonic depth gauge is placed 3.4 m above the ground. An ultrasound pulse sent downward reflects off snow and reaches the device 0.016 seconds after it was emitted. The air temperature is −25°C. (a). How far (in m) is the surface of the snow from the device? (4.5 points) (b). How deep is the snow? (1.0 point)

(a). The speed of a wave sent down a steel cable of total length 63 m and mass 180 kg connected to two poles is 26.5 m/s. What is the tension in the cable? (3.0 points) (b). The lower frequency limit for human hearing is usually considered to be 20.0 Hz. What is the corresponding wavelength for this frequency on a hot summer day when the temperature is 37.8oC? (4.5 points)
