Homework Statement
Consider a sound wave in air of density 1.2 kg/m3. The displacement wave has the form s(x,t)=smaxcos(kx-\omegat) where k=8.79rad/m, \omega=3021.6 rad/s and smax=2.51 x 10-7m.
Calculate the sound pressure \DeltaP(x,t) of this wave at x=0.282m and t=0.00137s. Answer in units of Pa.
Homework Equations
\DeltaPmax=\rhov\omegasmax
\DeltaP=\DeltaPmaxsin(kx-\omegat)
The Attempt at a Solution
I have a feeling I'm not using the correct equations because the equations I've found include a velocity, which isn't given, and don't include the displacement function. How do I relate the displacement function to the pressure equations?
