Basics of Sound
Problem Statement
Read the following explanation and answer subquestions (1) through (7) below.
Hz is the SI unit typically used to measure sound A.
Hz is a unit representing the C of a wave that repeats 1 B times; the larger this value, the more D it becomes, and the smaller it is, the more E it becomes.
(1) Select the number that corresponds to A from the options below.
1: Magnitude
2: Height
3: Resonance
4: Muddiness
(2) Select the unit that corresponds to B from the options below by number.
1: m (meter)
2: kg (kilogram)
3: L (liter)
4: s (seconds)
5: h (hours)
6: J (joules)
7: mol (moles)
8: N (newtons)
9: Pa (pascals)
(3) Select the number below that corresponds to C.
1: Magnitude
2: Frequency
3: Constant
4: Place of origin
(4) Select the number that best fits D from the options below.
1: Loud sound
2: Soft sound
3: High-pitched sound
4: Low-pitched sound
5: Resonant sound
6: Sound with no resonance
7: A muffled sound
8: A clear sound
(5) Select the number below that best describes E.
1: A loud sound
2: A soft sound
3: A high-pitched sound
4: A low-pitched sound
5: A resonant sound
6: A sound that does not resonate at all
7: A muffled sound
8: A sound that carries well
(6) Select the number below that corresponds to the standard pronunciation of Hz.
1: Hezu
2: Hesu
3: Heru
4: Hetsu
5: Hertz
6: Perzu
7: Waltz
8: Keltz
9: Kelp
(7) Select the correct definition of Hz from the options below by number.
1: s2
2: s1
3: s21
4: J2/s
5: sdB
6: s22×dB
7: AN×s
8: W×V×s2
9: N/s
Constraints
-
Let An be the number selected as the answer to subquestion n (where n=1,2,…,7).
-
Each An corresponds to the number of the specified choice (a natural number from 1 to 9).
Input Format
Output a 7-digit natural number representing the answer, consisting of the answer numbers for subproblems 1 through 7 in order. As a mathematical expression, enter the natural number X obtained from the following calculation:
X=n=1∑7107−n×AnSolution
Explanation
Explanations and Correct Answer Numbers for Each Subquestion
-
Subquestions (1) and (3) The unit hertz (Hz) is used to measure “frequency,” a physical quantity related to the “pitch” of sound. Therefore, “pitch” should be entered in A and “frequency” in C.
- Correct answer for Subquestion (1): 2 (A1=2)
- Correct answer for Subquestion (3): 2 (A3=2)
-
Parts (2) and (7) Frequency refers to the number of times a wave repeats per second. Since the base unit of time in the SI system is the second (s), B should be filled with “s (seconds).” Furthermore, since it denotes the number of times per second (cycles per second), the definition of Hz is s1, which is the reciprocal of the second.
- Correct answer for Part (2): 4 (A2=4)
- Correct answer for Part (7): 2 (A7=2)
-
Parts (4) and (5) The higher the frequency of a sound, the “higher-pitched” it is; the lower the frequency, the “lower-pitched” it is. Therefore, “high-pitched” goes in D and “low-pitched” goes in E.
- Correct answer for Part (4): 3 (A4=3)
- Correct answer for Part (5): 4 (A5=4)
-
Part (6) The symbol Hz is generally read as “hertz.”
- Correct answer for Part (6): 5 (A6=5)
Calculations Using Natural Numbers
The correct answer numbers for each part are listed below.
- A1=2
- A2=4
- A3=2
- A4=3
- A5=4
- A6=5
- A7=2
Following the input format, arrange these numbers starting from the millions (106) place to form a 7-digit integer.
X=2×106+4×105+2×104+3×103+4×102+5×101+2×100=2423452Therefore, the natural number to be entered is 2423452.
