1. Given: 343
t = 10 seconds λ= = 0.875 ≈ 0.88
392
c = 343
d=c⋅t λ = 0.88 m
d = 343 ⋅ 10

d = 3430 m 3. Given:
P0 = 100
d0 = 20
2. Given: d1 = 40
F0 = A3 = 220
N = 10 P0
P1 =
(d1 ∕ d0 )2
2(N/12)
F1 = F0 ⋅ 100
F1 = F1 ⋅ 2(10/12) P1 =
(40 ∕ 20)2
F1 = 391.995436 ≈ 392 hz
F1 = f
c=f⋅λ P1 = 25 dB

4. Given:
L1 = 30 dB

L1 = L0 – STC
L0 = L1 + STC
Calculating for STC:
Reference Construction STC
Grondzik & Kwok pg. 6-in painted CHB
45
1773, 1775
Painting at least one side
of lightweight hollow
concrete block with latex
Egan pg. 230 2(2 sides)
block filler (3 coats), or
1/2-in-thick plaster sealer
on one side
49

L0 = 30 + 49
L0 = 79 dB
