Calculate the derivative of the speed of sound in air by


a) Calculate the derivative of the speed of sound in air by respect to the absolute temperature, and show that the differentials dv and dT obey dv/v = 1/2 dT/T.

b) Use this result to estimate the percentage change in the speed of sound when the temperature changes from 0°C to 24.8°C.

c) If the speed of sound is 332 m/s at 0°C, estimate its value at 24.8°C using the differential approximation.

d) How does this approximation compare by the result of an exact calculation? (Enter the value from the exact calculation.)
