18 cars in a circle at a boom box competition produce a 105 dB sound level at the center of the circle. What is the average sound level produced there by each, assuming interference effects can be neglected?
dB = ?
To find the average sound level produced by each car, we need to divide the total sound level by the number of cars.
Given that there are 18 cars and the total sound level is 105 dB, we can use the following formula:
Average sound level = Total sound level / Number of cars
Plugging in the values, we have:
Average sound level = 105 dB / 18 cars
Calculating this, we get:
Average sound level ≈ 5.83 dB per car
Therefore, the average sound level produced by each car, assuming interference effects can be neglected, is approximately 5.83 dB.
