The velocity of sound in air at NTP is 331 m/s. Find its velocity when temperature eises to `91^(@)C` and its pressure is doubled.
A. 372 m/s
B. 382.1 m/s
C. 423 m/s
D. 392.5 m/s
A. 372 m/s
B. 382.1 m/s
C. 423 m/s
D. 392.5 m/s
Correct Answer – B
Given velocity of sound in air `v_(o)` = 331 m/s
`” “t=91^(@)C`
`v_(t)=v_(o)sqrt((273+t)/(273))=331 sqrt((273+91)/(273))=331sqrt(1+91/273)`
`v_(t)=331sqrt(1+1/3)=331xx2/sqrt3`
`” “=382.1m//s`
