The average resistivity of the human body (apart from surface resistance of the skin) is about 5.0 Ωm. The conducting path between the right and left hands can be approximated as cylinder 1.6 m long and 0.10 m in diameter. The skin resistance can be made negligible by soaking the hands in salt water.

(a) What is the resistance between the hands if the skin resistance is negligible?
(b) if skin resistance is negligible, what potential difference between the hands is needed for lethal shock current 100 mA? Your result shows that even small potential difference can produce dangerous curents when shin is damp.

Wo audio speakers are placed on a vertical rail. speaker a is placed at head-level while speaker b is place at some variable height, \delta yδy, above speaker a. both speakers receive simultaneous input from a sine-wave generator so the speakers each produce a pure sinusoidal sound wave with a wavelength of 0.531 meters. calculate the lowest height that speaker b can be placed above speaker a to produce a minimum of sound heard by person standing \delta x = 7.86δx=7.86 meters directly in front of speaker a.
