At what temperature does the velocity of sound in air increase by $10\%$ compared to its velocity at $0^{\circ}C$ (in $^{\circ}C$)?

Earthquakes generate sound waves inside the earth. Unlike a gas,the earth can experience both transverse $(S)$ and longitudinal $(P)$ sound waves. Typically,the speed of $S$ wave is about $4.0 \; km/s$,and that of $P$ wave is $8.0 \; km/s$. $A$ seismograph records $P$ and $S$ waves from an earthquake. The first $P$ wave arrives $4 \; min$ before the first $S$ wave. Assuming the waves travel in a straight line,at what distance (in $km$) does the earthquake occur?

$A$ steel rod of length $100 \, cm$ is clamped at the middle. The frequency of the fundamental mode for the longitudinal vibrations of the rod is ..... $kHz$ (Speed of sound in steel $= 5 \, km \, s^{-1}$)

The pressure wave,$P = 0.01 \sin(1000t - 3x) \, N m^{-2}$,corresponds to the sound produced by a vibrating blade on a day when atmospheric temperature is $0 \, ^oC$. On some other day when temperature is $T$,the speed of sound produced by the same blade and at the same frequency is found to be $336 \, m s^{-1}$. The approximate value of $T$ is .... $^oC$

$A$ hospital uses an ultrasonic scanner to locate tumours in a tissue. What is the wavelength of sound in the tissue in which the speed of sound is $1.7 \; km/s$? The operating frequency of the scanner is $4.2 \; MHz$.
